Dr. Guido Nigrelli (Naturalist, Researcher, person in charge of the group). His studies are mainly addressed to the: Role of ongoing climate change in the morphogenesis of the glacial/periglacial areas and related hazards; Meteo-climatic conditions, especially temperature and precipitation, for triggers of natural instability processes in mountain environments, with particular regard at high-elevation sites; Effect of climate change on the triggering thresholds of landslides in the Alps; Variability and evolution of the main climatic and hydrologic parameters observed in the Italian Alps; Evolution of Alpine glaciers in the last 150 years (post LIA), relation with topoclimatic conditions and related impacts; Documentation of natural instability processes in the Alps, with particular attention to processes that occur in glacial and periglacial environment; Development of information management systems (database, GIS, infrastrucures for spatial information), for the storage and management of glacial, periglacial and mountain digital resources, related to the Greater Alpine Region in general, and to the Italian Alps in particular. He is a member of the Italian Glaciological Committee. 
Dr. Marta Chiarle (Geologist, PhD, Senior researcher). Her studies are mainly addressed to the analysis of the geological and morphological aspects of instability processes that develop in mountain environments, with a focus on morphodynamic processes that occur in glacial and periglacial areas, on the changes taking place as a result of climate change, and on related hazards. She devotes a specific attention to analyzing the role of climate and geomorphological evolution in predisposing high-altitude slopes to instability, as well as the role of meteorological factors in triggering slope failures. She also studies the recent evolution of glaciers in the Northwestern Alps and its consequences on natural instability. She documents events of natural instability in Northwestern Italy, with a focus on events occurring in mountain areas. She is the CNR representative within the Italian Glaciological Committee, and the CNR-IRPI representative inside the Cabina di Regia dei Ghiacciai Valdostani; she is a member of the GAPHAZ (Glacier and Permafrost Hazards in Mountains) group.
Dr. Giovanni Mortara (Geologist, Associated researcher). His studies are mainly addressed to the analysis of the geological and morphological aspects of instability processes that develop in mountain environments, with a focus on morphodynamic processes that occur in glacial and periglacial areas, on the changes taking place as a result of climate change, and on related hazards. He is a member of the executive committee of the Italian Glaciological Committee.
