Glacier data from outer space
With the aid of new satellites glaciologists in Zurich are now able to study the world's ice regions with greater precision than before.

The Zurich glaciologists are definite in their diagnosis: there is now no stopping the shrinkage of alpine glaciers.

DINAMO
DINAMO
[Project competed] In many rural areas of the Alps, public transport services are inadequate for daily needs and tourism development. In some remote mountain regions, this is one of the reasons why there is a considerable amount of car traffic, especially on weekends, public holidays and during rush hours. There are various reasons for this, including the high cost of public transport solutions due to low population density, inadequate public transport options (such as timetables, accessibility, connectivity, travel time and costs) and political and social preferences in favour of private motorised transport.
