Klimaszenarien Schweiz – eine regionale Übersicht
 | 9 May 2013 - Der neue Fachbericht von MeteoSchweiz gibt eine Übersicht, wie sich das Klima in den Grossregionen und für verschiedene Höhenlagen der Schweiz im Jahr 2060 von demjenigen heute und der Vergangenheit unterscheiden dürfte. Die Auswertungen basieren auf den Schweizer Klimaszenarien CH2011. |
A 2°C warmer world is not safe for ecosystem services in the European Alps
 | 22 March 2013 - New research by the Forest Ecology group at ETH suggests that even a 2°C increase in average global temperature can results in detrimental impacts on some essential ecosystem services (ES) in the European Alps. Employing regional climate scenarios from C2SM, that include a 2°C warmer world, the Forest Ecology used simulation models to examine the projected impact of climate change on a range of forest ecosystem services. The results indicate that the impact of climate change will vary in space and depending on the specific ES. Some forest ES, such as rockfall protection and timber production, are projected to be sensitive to even moderate climate change while other ES, such as carbon storage, are projected to be relatively resilient. See Global Change Biology for the details and the article in ETH life for an overview. |
C2SM Symposium: The Water Cycle in a Changing Climate 2013
| 18 March 2013 - C2SM announces the Symposium on "The Water Cycle in a Changing Climate" at ETH Zurich, July 1-2 2013.
The goal of the symposium is to review our current understanding of the processes governing the water cycle, and to explore new frontiers in using climate change information towards coping with emerging challenges. We are looking forward to your contribution as an oral or poster presentation. Particularly we welcome contributions from PhD students. Please note the deadlines for abstract submission, April 28, and registration, June 5. More information on the symposium webpage: http://www.c2sm.ethz.ch/Symposium_Water-Cycle |
New communication specialist at C2SM
 | 4 March 2013 - This Rutishauser joined the C2SM-team to strengthen communications in the center and with the public. This has worked in print journalism and science communication since 1999. More recently he was involved in a number of corporate communication and publishing projects. This got a Master’s and PhD in geography and history at the University of Bern where he continues coordinating a citizen science project on phenology, seasonality and extreme climate impacts. Besides science, This loves sailing and good bread. |
New publication: Probabilistic cost estimates for climate change mitigation
 | 4 January 2013 - C2SM researcher Joeri Rogelj co-authored a Letter to Nature, which has just been published. |
New paper: Global and diffuse solar radiation in Spain: Building a homogeneous dataset and assessing their trends
 | 4 December 2012 - The new study by C2SM researchers A. Sanchez-Lorenzo and M. Wild together with J. Calbó from the University of Girona has become available online at Global and Planetary Change. |
"Wir entscheiden, welche Welt wir wollen."
| 30 November 2012 - Die Wahrnehmung von Klimamodellen in der Öffentlichkeit ist mangelhaft und steht in keinem Verhältnis zur Bedeutung, welche die Modelle in der Forschung haben. Für viele sind sie wenig zugängliche, abstrakte Vereinfachungen der Realität. Neue Visualisierungen des IAC in High-Definition-Qualität sollen deshalb helfen, Klimamodelle verständlicher zu machen und ihre Möglichkeiten und Grenzen aufzuzeigen.
