Increasingly, cosmic ray probes are being used to monitor soil moisture and estimate the amount of water available in the form of snow in the mountains. A joint research project with the University of Innsbruck combines the advantages of this technology with those of satellite images. So, how do cosmic ray probes work? What are their advantages? And, what needs to be considered when using them in the mountains?

Technologies to protect against drought are increasing
