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.

Glaciers are recognised as an excellent proxy for climate change and their centennial massloss has accelerated during the past decades. The Central Asian mountain ranges Tien Shan and Pamir host over 25,000 glaciers that have been observed to respond heterogeneous to climate change. Glacier changes in the region have very important consequences on the water availability for the densely populated...

Luttes de conceptions entre ONG internationales et communes autour des projets d'accès à l'eau potable au Bénin

Anziani-Vente, Morgane ; Graefe, Olivier (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2017 ; n⁰ 2055.

Cette recherche étudie les relations entre les organisations non-gouvernementales internationales (ONGI) et les communes lors de la mise en place de projets d’accès à l’eau potable pour mettre en lumière les inégalités partenariales qui apparaissent entre ces acteurs et qui sont sources de blocages au développement. La recherche vise aussi à comprendre quel est l’impact de ces...

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 recent decades, the urban landscape of Switzerland has changed drastically and is now in sharp contrast to the ideals of planners and urban designers, such as the compact form of the Historical European City. Especially for the agglomeration areas, the call for a re-qualification of the built environment is strong, where spatial quality is still low from a planning and urban design viewpoint....

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...

Montanaqua: tackling water stress in the alps: water management options in the crans-montana-sierre region (valais)

Schneider, Flurina ; Bonriposi, Mariano ; Graefe, Olivier ; Herweg, Karl ; Homewood, Christine ; Huss, Matthias ; Kauzlaric, Martina ; Liniger, Hanspeter ; Rey, Emmanuel ; Reynard, Emmanuel ; Rist, Stephan ; Schädler, Bruno ; Weingartner, Rolf

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...
