  • Climate Change and Tourism in Switzerland : a Survey on Impacts, Vulnerability and Possible Adaptation Measures
    Climate Change and Tourism in Switzerland : a Survey on Impacts, Vulnerability and Possible Adaptation Measures Cecilia Matasci, Juan‐Carlos Altamirano‐Cabrera 1 Research group on the Economics and Management of the Environment ­ Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, CH­1015 Lausanne, Switzerland, [email protected] The tourism industry is particularly affected by climate change, being very climate‐ and weather‐ dependent. Moreover, particularly in the Alpine region, it is specially exposed to natural hazards. Nonetheless, this industry is an important pillar of the Swiss economy, providing employment and generating income. Then, it becomes essential to reduce its vulnerability and starting implementing adaptation measures. In order to do so, it is important to define which areas face which problems and to recognize vulnerability hot spots. This motivation comes from the prospect that the largest environmental, social and economic damages are likely to be concentrated in vulnerable areas. This article presents an overview of the current state of the knowledge on the impacts, the vulnerability and the possible adaptation measures of the tourism industry in relation to climate change. Moreover, it presents different methods that could help assessing this vulnerability, referring in particular to the Swiss situation. This is the first step toward the establishment of the vulnerability analysis and the consequent examination of possible adaptation measures. Keywords: climate change, adaptation, vulnerability, tourism, Switzerland Introduction Climate change is a global phenomenon, but its effects occur on a local scale. Moreover, these effects have a clear impact on economic activities. An example of an activity heavily affected is tourism. Tourism is closely interlinked with climate change both as culprit and as victim.

    The 11 historic fountains of Solothurn Fountains, in which women used to wash their clothes, can be found in every place. However, it is hardly impossible to find a place where the fountains are as grandly built as they are in Solothurn. They reflect the wealth that the French ambassadors brought into the city. “Solothurn allegedly attempted to increase the number of its fountains to 11. As a result, it became, in proportion to its size, the city with the most fountains in Switzerland”, writes Fritz Wyss in his book “Die Stadt Solothurn”. Most of the fountains were built in the 16th century. By the way: Bern, too, has 11 monumental fountains in the old city. In Solothurn water flows in many other fountains, too. In “Brunnen der Stadt Solothurn”, Adele Tatarinoff lists about fifty of them. To name but a few: the Kollegiumsbrunnen (college fountain) of 1676, the Franziskanerbrunnen (Franciscan fountain) situated south of the Franciscan church and dating from around 1759, the Pisonibrünnlein (little Pisoni fountain) (1774) next to the St. Urs tower, the Schmiedengassebrunnen (blacksmith’s alley fountain) of 1796, the Landhausbrünnlein (little Landhaus fountain) (1888) or the fountain outside of the Basel gate (1781, it was moved to its present site in 1972). The city also created fountain systems in today’s time such as the one at the vocational school (1955), the Kosciuszko fountain (1967) by the artist Schang Hutter at the Soba bank or the Heilbronn fountain (1982) at the Städtische Werke. However, the above mentioned fountains do not have the monumental size of the other 11 ones.

    Marine Geology 241 (2007) 137–154 www.elsevier.com/locate/margeo The 1996 AD delta collapse and large turbidite in Lake Brienz ⁎ Stéphanie Girardclos a, , Oliver T. Schmidt b, Mike Sturm b, Daniel Ariztegui c, André Pugin c,1, Flavio S. Anselmetti a a Geological Institute-ETH Zurich, Universitätsstr. 16, CH-8092 Zürich, Switzerland b EAWAG, Überlandstrasse 133, CH-8600 Dübendorf, Switzerland c Section of Earth Sciences, Université de Genève, 13 rue des Maraîchers, CH-1205 Geneva, Switzerland Received 13 July 2006; received in revised form 15 March 2007; accepted 22 March 2007 Abstract In spring 1996 AD, the occurrence of a large mass-transport was detected by a series of events, which happened in Lake Brienz, Switzerland: turbidity increase and oxygen depletion in deep waters, release of an old corpse into surface waters and occurrence of a small tsunami-like wave. This mass-transport generated a large turbidite deposit, which is studied here by combining high- resolution seismic and sedimentary cores. This turbidite deposit correlates to a prominent onlapping unit in the seismic record. Attaining a maximum of 90 cm in thickness, it is longitudinally graded and thins out towards the end of the lake basin. Thickness distribution map shows that the turbidite extends over ∼8.5 km2 and has a total volume of 2.72⁎106 m3, which amounts to ∼8.7 yr of the lake's annual sediment input. It consists of normally graded sand to silt-sized sediment containing clasts of hemipelagic sediments, topped by a thin, white, clay-sized layer. The source area, the exact dating and the possible trigger of this turbidite deposit, as well as its flow mechanism and ecological impact are presented along with environmental data (river inflow, wind and lake-level measurements).
