Nonlinearities, feedbacks and critical thresholds within the earth's climate system

Rial, José A. ; Pielke, Roger A. ; Beniston, Martin ; Claussen, Martin ; Canadell, Josep ; Cox, Peter ; Held, Hermann ; Noblet-Ducoudré, Nathalie de ; Prinn, Ronald ; Reynolds, James F. ; Salas, José D.

In: Climatic Change, 2004, vol. 65, p. 11

The Earth's climate system is highly nonlinear: inputs and outputs are not proportional, change is often episodic and abrupt, rather than slow and gradual, and multiple equilibria are the norm. While this is widely accepted, there is a relatively poor understanding of the different types of nonlinearities, how they manifest under various conditions, and whether they reflect a climate system...

Tracing the decision maker

Schulte-Mecklenbeck, Michael ; Huber, Oswald (Dir.) ; Kühberger, Anton (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2005.

This thesis focuses on two themes: a methodological and a decision making one. The methodological part introduces the development of a computerized information search tool. The program, called WebDiP (Web Decision Processes), enables the researcher to track participants while they are searching for information in a database. An experiment can be done either in the laboratory or on the Web. The...

"Qu'avez-vous fait de l'argent des juifs ?" : problématisation et publicisation de la question "des fonds juifs et de l'or nazi" par la presse suisse, 1995-1998

Terzi, Cédric ; Widmer, Jean (Dir.) ; Quéré, Louis (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2005.

Based on a large collection of newspaper articles, political discourses, historical inquiries and testimonies, this research analyzes the emergence, development and resolution of the controversy about the "Jewish assets and nazi gold" in the Swiss public sphere between 1995 and 1998. The research starts with the analysis of the emergence of the role of Switzerland during the Second World War,...

The high-resolution stratigraphic architecture and evolution of the Burdigalian carbonate-siliciclastic sedimentary systems of the Mut Basin, Turkey

Bassant, Philip ; Strasser, Andreas (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 1999 ; no 1256.

The factors influencing the production and deposition of carbonate sediments are known. These are namely accommodation variations (eustasy and tectonics), siliciclastic sediment input, environmental changes (temperature, salinity, trophic level), nature of the producing ecologies, and the hydrodynamic regime. However, the manner in which these factors integrate through time to produce the...

Paléoécologie et paléoclimats de la molasse du Jura (oligo-miocène) : apport des Rhinocerotoidea (Mammalia) et des minéraux argileux

Becker, Damien ; Berger, Jean-Pierre (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2003 ; no 1416.

The Jura Molasse, in which most remains of the studied Rhinocerotoidea remains were found, constitutes a well preserved distal part of the Molasse Basin. This sedimentary series covered a major part of the Jura chain during the Oligocene and Miocene. Today, it is only sporadically found trapped in valleys or preserved in karst fillings. During the Oligo-Miocene period, the Jura region was...

Evidences of winter ascending air circulation throughout talus slopes and rock glaciers situated in the lower belt of alpine discontinuous permafrost (Swiss Alps)

Delaloye, Reynald ; Lambiel, Christophe

In: Norwegian Journal of Geography

The winter ascending circulation of air throughout an accumulation of coarse slope sediments (the so-called chimney effect) facilitates the cooling of the ground and even the occurrence of permafrost in the lower part of a deposit. Simultaneously, any freezing is unlikely to occur in the upper part. The chimney effect has been reported to date mainly for cold and sometimes perennially frozen...
