Intern, doctoral student, research assistant - Anna Haberkorn held these positions at the SLF before applying to the SLF again after four years in the private sector. And it worked out: since January 2025, she has been a new member of the avalanche warning team and, together with her colleagues, is responsible for producing the avalanche bulletin for Switzerland, among many other tasks. She is receiving the necessary training directly from her team over several months – from interpreting weather models to publishing the current danger situation.

Anna Haberkorn explains what this means, what challenges she faces and much more in the video:
