Human experts will continue to produce the avalanche bulletin in future, but computer assessments based on weather data and other measurements have a valuable role to play as a “second opinion”.

Un plan d’eau a été installé dans la cour de l’Hepia, à la rue de la Prairie, pour montrer les services que peut rendre un tel bassin, entre rétention d’eau et havre pour la biodiversité.

Wastewater is a cost-effective tool and better indicator of SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology during periods of insufficient testing or high positivity rates.

Large floods in mountain basins are becoming more frequent, a trend that is likely to continue with climate change, leading to changes in timing and amount of run-off in river basins.

Computer simulations of snow cover can accurately forecast avalanche hazard, according to a new international study involving researchers from Simon Fraser University.

This report discusses how hazard risk managers in Switzerland face multiple challenges due to increasing damage potential resulting from climate change.

The goal of this study is to improve the required understanding of the mechanisms that determine adherence to and acceptance of protective measures to provide a solid basis for interventions in a pandemic. To improve public health communication, it is

This study assesses how trust and risk perception impacted the acceptance of government imposed COVID-19 measures in German-speaking Switzerland. The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 has had a large impact on the lives of many people worldwide. The
