Climate change is clearly discernible in observed climate records in Switzerland. It impacts on natural systems, ecosystems, and economic sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and energy, and it affects Swiss livelihood in various ways. The observed and pr ...
We experimentally investigate the benefits of a new optical pulse coding technique for long-range, meter and submeter scale Raman-based distributed temperature sensing on standard single-mode optical fibers. The proposed scheme combines a low-repetition-ra ...
The response of a distributed temperature sensor based on coherent Rayleigh scattering is experimentally studied in the temperature range from 77 K up to 300 K, using fibres with standard and ORMOCER coating. A precise and absolute frequency scan is perfor ...
The magnetism of a metallic two-dimensional triangular antiferromagnetic (AF) compound, Ag2CrO2, has been investigated by muon-spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) using a powder sample in the temperature range between 1.8 and 40 K. Below T-N = 24 K, a muo ...

Climate variations influenced the agricultural productivity, health risk, and conflict level of preindustrial societies. Discrimination between environmental and anthropogenic impacts on past civilizations, however, remains difficult because of the paucity ...
Inelastic x-ray scattering is used to investigate charge-density wave (CDW) formation and the low-energy lattice dynamics of the underdoped high-temperature superconductor ortho-II YBa2Cu3O6.54. We find that, for a temperature similar to 1/3 of the CDW ons ...
A long-range fast-measurement Raman-based distributed temperature sensor (RDTS) with a meter spatial resolution exploiting a quasi-periodic pulse-coding technique is proposed in this paper. We experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of temperature sensi ...
The long residence time of carbon in forests and soils means that both the current state and future behavior of the terrestrial biosphere are influenced by past variability in climate and anthropogenic land use. Over the last half-millennium, European terr ...
During the last glacial/interglacial transition the Earth's climate underwent abrupt changes around 14.6 kyr ago. Temperature proxies from ice cores revealed the onset of the Boølling/Alleroød (B/A) warm period in the north and the start of the Antarctic C ...
