A novel approach to estimate glacier mass balance in the Tien Shan and Pamir based on transient snowline observations

Barandun, Martina ; Huss, Matthias (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2018 ; no 2099.

Gletscher sind ausgezeichnete Indikatoren für den Klimawandel. Ihr langjähriger Massen- verlust hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten weltweit akzentuiert. Die zentralasiatischen Bergketten Tien Shan und Pamir beherbergen u¨ber 25’000 Gletscher. Studien zeigen, dass diese Gletscher heterogen auf den Klimawandel reagieren. Gletscherver¨anderungen in der Region haben wichtige Auswirkungen auf...

Iwrm and the politics of scale: rescaling water governance in Uzbekistan

Zinzani, Andrea ; Bichsel, Christine

In: Water, 2018, vol. 10, no. 3, p. 281

Over the last two decades, politics of scale and rescaling processes in relation to water have been debated by several scholars, especially by geographers and political ecologists, who emphasized their socio-political nature and their interactions with the environment. By contributing to this debate, this paper analyses rescaling processes in water governance in relation to the implementation...

The Invisible Processes Of Urban Design : A Qualitative Investigation Into The Dynamics Of Collective Decision-Making In Urban Development And Their Potential for Spatial Quality

Loepfe, Matthias ; Van Wezemael, Joris (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2014 ; no 1844.

In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat sich die Siedlungslandschaft der Schweiz drastisch verändert und steht heute im Widerspruch zu den Idealen von Planern und Städtebauern, wie z.B. die kompakte Form der Historischen Europäischen Stadt. Vor allem in den Agglomerationen ist der Ruf nach einer Re-Qualifizierung der gebauten Umwelt stark, wo die Siedlungsqualität aus der Sicht der genannten...

Integrated water resources management as a new approach to water security

Graefe, Olivier

In: Eating, Drinking: Surviving - SpringerBriefs in Global Understanding, 2016, p. 43–49

Access to safe water is a worldwide problem facing three quarters of a billion people every day. The problem of access to water is not primarily due to an overall scarcity of water, but rather the unequal geographical and seasonal distribution of the water resources. The key issue at stake here is, how to make water available. The new approach presented by international institutions for...

Transdisciplinary research is considered an appropriate mode of knowledge production in the search for pathways towards a more sustainable governance of natural resources. However, the co-production of new knowledge between scientists of different disciplines and nonacademic stakeholders is a challenge that requires novel research designs, methods, and approaches. The MontanAqua team has ...

The evolution of mountain permafrost in the context of climate change : towards a comprehensive analysis of permafrost monitoring data from the Swiss Alps

Staub, Benno ; Delaloye, Reynald (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2015 ; no. 1949.

In the Swiss Alps, permafrost occurs discontinuously and commonly has a temperature close to 0 °C. A reduction of Alpine permafrost area and volume is expected in the course of atmospheric warming, but to date, limited evidence is available for Alpine permafrost degradation. Permafrost warming or thaw is accompanied by structural changes in the subsurface, which endanger infrastructure by...
