Trocknet die Schweiz aus?
Die Schweiz ist von extremer Trockenheit betroffen, insbesondere nördlich der Alpen und im Wallis. Die hohen Temperaturen der Jahrhundert-Hitzewelle von Mitte bis Ende Juni und ein seit dem Frühling anhaltendes Niederschlagsdefizit haben dazu geführt. Die bisherigen Niederschläge konnten die Situation vorerst nicht entschärfen. Warum nicht? Wir haben bei Manuela Brunner, Assistenzprofessorin an der ETH Zurich und am WSL-Institut für Schnee-und Lawinenforschung SLF, nachgefragt. Zudem haben wir die wichtigsten Informationen zu Trockenheit in Zeiten des Klimawandels zusammengestellt.
Research project FLOW-BIOS
Nature-based solutions play a vital role in addressing the rising risk of flooding across the Alps, but this requires land that is often privately owned. That is why the FLOW-BIOS project, in collaboration with Austrian and Swiss UNESCO biosphere reserves, is investigating how nature-based solutions can be successfully implemented on private land.
