Research for people and environment

An interview with Dr Nadine Salzmann, head of the SLF's Alpine Environment and Natural Hazards research unit since mid-October.

Despite lots of snow in winter and a mild summer, the Swiss glaciers have lost about 400 million tonnes of ice since September 2020.

How genome analyses can help us to understand the forest ecosystem and adapt it to climate change was the subject of a conference at WSL.

In a blog post, SLF botanist Christian Rixen describes how he circumnavigated the north of Greenland and what he discovered along the way.

This year's summer school focused on forest monitoring and was attended by 24 enthusiastic students from all over the world.

In the Pamir Mountains, many glaciers are stable or even growing. In the logbook, WSL glacier researchers talk about their expedition there.
