#Wohnraum schaffen, Flächen sparen: Suffizienz konkret. Am Beispiel von #Entlebuch (LU) zeigen Annika Müller und Tonja Iten von der WSL auf, wie sich suffiziente #Wohnformen konkret umsetzen lassen - und sie erklären, was #Suffizienz eigentlich ist: www.schweizer-gemeinde.ch/artikel/wohn...
Wohnraum schaffen, Flächen sparen: Suffizienz konkret
Wohnraum ist vielerorts knapp. Viele Gemeinden möchten Junge behalten und Auswärtige ansiedeln, doch neues Bauland ist selten eine Lösung – zu knapp sind die Landreserven und zu gross der Widerstand. ...

🦫Les #castors aident les chauves-souris: davantage de #chauves-souris chassent là où les constructeurs assidus coupent les arbres et bloquent les cours d'eau. Nouvelle étude du WSL et @eawag.bsky.social: www.wsl.ch/fr/news/les-... #boismort #étangs @vmoser.bsky.social @animalecology.bsky.social
Les castors créent des habitats pour les chauves-souris
Les barrages des castors profitent à des animaux terrestres, par exemple les chauves-souris menacés de disparition.

What a blast! 🚀 At ETH Zurich’s Treffpunkt Science City, our VAW Glaciology member Dr. Mylène Jacquemart shared insights on alpine hazards, rock–ice avalanches & the forces shaping our mountains. A packed hall. Great to see so many young minds interested in climate change! ❄️

Depiction of reality: Just under 3.5 % of Switzerland’s land area is permafrost. #SLF ’s interactive permafrost map (photo), based on modelling, shows where permafrost is located and how cold it is.

Does functional community structure mitigate the impacts of climatic anomalies on productivity in grasslands? In our next seminar, @danielahoss.bsky.social leverages 25 years of global grassland data from the sPlot database to examine this question.

🧊 A new mass-balance season is in its second month. How are Swiss glaciers doing so far? Time for a check! Real-time #observations and #modelling for 12 #glaciers show nothing exceptional so far: snow cover remains thin (25–100 cm). Conditions have returned to average or slightly below. Data: GLAMOS
