The present work addresses the problematic of forecasting impacts of climate change on future rainfall regimes and their consequences on urban stormwater infrastructures. Researches carried out allowed to develop an integrated framework for producing high ...
Tourism is one of the main sources of income in many Swiss Alpine regions. But this industry is highly sensitive to climate conditions. Then, tourism in the Alpine region is effectively affected (both positively and negatively) by climate change and people ...
Nowadays, the consumer is worried by his health and by the environmental protection. Two interesting groups, among the others, can be distinguished : persons worried of eating organic products and persons who consume regional products. What about imported ...
This thesis analyses three distinct aspects of the economics of water distribution in Switzerland. Climate change and mounting pressure regarding the performance of network industries command an understanding of the drivers of cost and efficiency of water ...
The effects of future land use and land cover change on the chemical composition of the atmosphere and air quality are largely unknown. To investigate the potential effects associated with future changes in vegetation driven by atmospheric CO2 concentratio ...
AquaTerra is one of the first environmental projects within the 6th Framework programme by the European Commission. It began in June 2004 with a multidisciplinary team of 45 partner organizations from 13 EU countries, Switzerland, Serbia, Romania and Monte ...
Only a few studies have examined responses of grassland functional diversity to management and major environmental gradients, in order to address the question of whether grassland use can promote functional divergence. For five grassland sites in Israel, P ...
Gases trapped in polar ice provide our most direct record of the changes in greenhouse gas levels during the past 150,000 years. The best documented trace-gas records are for CO2 and CH4. The measurements corresponding to the industrial period document the ...

Climate change is a global phenomenon, but its effects occur on a local scale. An example is provided by tourism. Tourism is closely interlinked with climate change both as culprit and as victim. On the one hand, it is responsible for a large portion of GH ...
Various areas of a highway structure are studied regarding their level of exposure to the surrounding microclimate. Climate conditions from meteorological stations and vehicle kinetics are used to determine zones that are exposed to salt products and clima ...
