    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).

    Dorfchronik Niederried Bei Interlaken

    "Nidirriet", Niederried, wird kurz vor dem 15. April 1303 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Doch belegen einige wichtige Funde, dass bereits viel früher Menschen auf dem heutigen Gemeindegebiet gelebt haben. Somit beginnt die Chronik mit der Zeit dieser Funde. An- schliessend finden sich diverseste geschichtliche Themen aus Europa, der Eidgenossen- schaft, des Herrschaftsgebietes Bern und der Region, welche die Entstehung der heutigen Gemeindeform mit prägten oder zumindest beeinflussten. In all dies eingebettet sind ältere und neuere Be- und Gegebenheiten aus unserem Dorf. So ist es möglich, je nach Lust und Laune unser Gemeindegebiet zusammen mit seinen Einwohnern im Umfeld der Frühgeschichte, dann das Dorf Nidirriet in der Zeit seiner erst- maligen Benennung "56 Jahre vor 1303" (!), weiter die Bäuert Underried und später Nie- derried auf dem langen Weg hin zur Gegenwart kennenzulernen. ~ 4300 bis 1800 v. Chr. "Neolithikum" oder "die Jungsteinzeit" 1913 wurde beim Bahnbau westlich vom Weiler Ursisbalm in Niederried ein Hocker- grab aus dem Neolithikum gefunden. (Lage 637010 / 173675 / 584; unter dem nördli- chen der zwei Felsvorsprünge.) Das Grab aus 'Goldswilplatten' mit 1 m Länge und 0.4 m Breite enthielt ein Skelett einer 20 bis 25-jährigen Frau, den Kopf nach SW ge- richtet. 1924 wurde der Schädel von Prof. O. Schlaginhaufen als der niedrigsten bis dahin bekannten Variante der schweizeri- schen Neolithikerkapazität zugeordnet (kleinwüchsig, vergleichbar Pygmäen) und ist demzufolge um die 6'000 Jahre alt. Ausserhalb des Grabes im Nordosten la- gen wirr durcheinander Knochenüberreste zweier 7- bis 14-jähriger Kinder und eine Platte mit Asche. Vmtl. waren dies Spuren vom bereits damals üblichen Totenbrand. Weitere vier Gräber, "in nächster Nähe", wurden ohne Ausgrabung weggesprengt.
