Geosciences The Institute of Earth Sciences of the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland and the Platform Geosciences of the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) welcome you to the Swiss Geoscience Meeting 2008. Since centuries Ticino is attracting geoscientists as a research object, this year it hosts the 6th Swiss Geoscience Meeting. For the first time, this meeting is a four-day event. Besides the regular activities on Friday and Saturday, it is accompanied by a pre-event on Thursday evening, and a special session and three excursions on Sunday. The theme of this year’s edition is “Apply! Geosciences”, putting an emphasis on applications in geosciences. Geosciences today are an ensemble of activities in fundamental and applied research and teaching, that range from the Earth’s deepest interior to the outer limits of its atmosphere. The various disciplines of geosciences also address many of the current key issues of planet Earth and humanity, such as energy and resources, water, climate change, land use, natural hazards, and infrastructure and mobility. It is thus only natural that geoscientists are expected to address these issues in their research and teaching activities and present possible solutions. This includes a dialog with society – the key stakeholder – to which research contents and results must be communicated in a comprehensive way. This year’s theme “Apply! Geosciences” wants to stress the necessity to identify applications in geosciences, and discuss the necessary steps to point research and teaching activities in geosciences towards practical applications. Without forgetting the roots of geosciences – nature and its beauty. Again, welcome to Lugano! Take this occasion to meet and discuss, not only on scientific questions, but also on how geosciences should evolve to remain an attractive and competitive research realm also in the future.

The event – open to the public – has two highlights: A conference held by Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier and a slide show of the new book “Magie di pietra” on the geological landscapes of exceptional beauty of Ticino. Claude Nicollier: Planet Earth - A View from Space Claude Nicollier, born in 944 in Vevey, studied physics and astrophysics, holds two honorary doctorates, and was appointed professor at EPF Lausanne in 994. Nicollier is the fi rst and only astronaut Switzerland has had so far. Nicollier was in space for 42 days during 4 missions with different space shuttles in 992, 993, 996 and 999. Former Federal Counselor Adolf Ogi, when calling Nicollier on his fi rst space mission in 992, created the bonmot “Freude herrscht, Monsieur Nicollier!” Nicollier talks in his conference about his experiences in outer space and about his views of planet Earth. Magie di pietra - Geological Landscapes of Ticino A slideshow with photographs from the book “Magie di pietra”. This book contains panoramic photographs accompanied by explanatory text on 8 geological landscapes of particular beauty of Ticino. The book is held in three languages – Italian, French and German – and is edited by the Museo Cantonale di Storia Naturale. The event ends with an apero.

  • General Information
    December 2019 General information Welcome to Switzerland! Switzerland is located in the heart of Europe, sharing borders with Germany, France, Italy, Austria and the Principality of Liechtenstein. Its central location places it at the crossroads of several cultures, with the Alps a natural gateway between northern and southern Europe. The Swiss federal state was founded on the will of its cantons to form a peaceful union. It is therefore a nation of multiple cultures, as expressed in its four official languages – German, French, Italian and Romansh. Italian is spoken in the southern part of the country – where you'll find Lugano, the venue for our meeting. Lugano is a city in Ticino, a canton that combines a Mediterranean atmosphere with dazzling alpine scenery. We are delighted to welcome you here.

L'efficienza di questo tipo di sistemi è al momento poco conosciuta e troppo spesso stimata in modo approssimativo; dati e analisi applicate ad un caso reale possono quindi fornire interessanti indicazioni ai progettisti da un lato, ma anche a coloro che definiscono le strategie e le politiche energetiche. Inoltre, il ritorno di esperienza e la quantificazione del potenziale di raffrescamento a pavimento permette di apprendere aspetti e limiti essenziali per la corretta progettazione di impianti analoghi.
