TWINFALL “Digital TWIN for rock FALL and flow in response to a climate change scenario” is a project carried out in collaboration between the Department of Environmental and Civil Engineering and the Department of Mathematics of Politecnico di Milano, and financed by Fondazione Cariplo.
It involves universities, research institutes, municipalities, and stakeholders, and it addresses the growing risk of rockfalls and debris flows in Pre-Alpine territories.
The project develops digital twins of unstable slopes and debris-flow-prone basins, which combine numerical models, field data, and monitoring systems. They are designed to represent real slopes and channels in a dynamic way, and the main goal is to support prevention, early warning, and risk mitigation.
The project uses advanced monitoring tools and up-to-date numerical modeling for landslide and debris-flow processes. Climate change scenarios will be simulated to assess future hazard conditions, and the outputs will help local authorities improve civil protection planning.
