We apply an evolutionary game theoretic approach to the evolution of dispersal in explicitly spatial metacommunities, using a flexible parametric class of dispersal kernels, namely 2Dt kernels, and study the resulting evolutionary dynamics and outcomes. We ...
How is vulnerability to climate change spatially distributed? Which are its causes and its effects? Which are the major climate change vulnerability hotspots in which the implementation of adaptation ...
This paper provides empirical evidence on the theoretical literature on voluntary agreements. The case study on fuel efficiency standards for passenger cars in Switzerland investigates the motivation for signing as well as the performance of the agreement. ...
The poster presents the preliminary results of a study on the costs and efficiency of water distribution utilities in Switzerland. Climate change, water scarcity and growing concerns about the performance of network industries are some of the elements that ...
Most hydrological models are valid at most only in a few places and cannot be reasonably transferred to other places or to far distant time periods. Transfer in space is difficult because the models are conditioned on past observations at particular places ...
Business interest associations play an important role in the decision making process of climate policy. In 2009, the revision of the Swiss CO2 law for designing post-2012 climate policy is at stake. This paper analyzes the positions and arguments of the Sw ...
Landslides represent a major threat to human life, constructed facilities and infrastructure in most mountainous regions of the world. Considering future climate scenarios and modified precipitation patterns, the landslide activity will most probably chang ...
Mountain snow cover is an important source of water and essential for winter tourism in Alpine countries. However, large amounts of snow can lead to destructive avalanches, floods, traffic interruptions or even the collapse of buildings. We use annual maxi ...
Climatic changes resulting from anthropogenic activities over the passed century are repeatedly reported to alter the functioning of pristine ecosystems worldwide, and especially those in cold biomes. Available literature on the process of plant leaf litte ...
We performed a study to define the key elements of feasible global climate policy scenarios for the post-2012 UNFCCC regime by contacting – through a series of questionnaires – 149 stakeholders involved in climate-change discussions. We applied a Multiple ...
