  • Whither Sustainability? Governance and Regional Integration in the Glatt Valley1
    Whither sustainability? Governance and regional integration in the Glatt Valley1 Constance Carr, Ph.D. & Evan McDonough, Ph.D. Candidate Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning University of Luxembourg Luxembourg presented at Regional Studies Association Research Network, “How to govern fundamental Sustainability Transition processes?” 11 July 2014, St. Gallen, Switzerland Abstract This paper problematises the concept and practice of integrative planning – one of the central tenants of sustainability. We contend that, in practice, planning for the broader goal of spatial integration has the effect of producing a fundamentally paradoxical and contradictory social space, a form of urbanisation (or suburbanisation) that reinforces some of the problems which sustainability seeks to address. Drawing on an empirical base of observations of transport integration initiatives in the region of the Glatt Valley, and interview work in the field, this paper examines how integrative spatial planning strategies sanction further fragmentation. Observed in the Glatt Valley were attempts to consolidate infrastructure towards optimising capital accumulation along particular axes of flows. Housing, transport, and economic development were three key areas that required integration. The apparent integration of the region, however, is contrasted against a fragmented field of governance and an ambiguous set of winners and losers. The research confirms that integrative strategies can entrench and exacerbate existing tendencies of fragmented governance, and in fact, generate new rounds of fragmentation with respect to land use and social worlds. Introduction There is not much dispute about the broad definition of sustainable development – that it spans economic, social, and environmental issues, and that while these can be conceived as pillars, concentric circles or a Venn diagram (Rydin 2010), the main goal towards achieving sustainability is the integration these three dimensions.

  • Quaternary Glaciation History of Northern Switzerland

The oldest Quaternary sediments of Switzerland are multiphase gravels intercalated by till and overbank deposits (‘Deckenschotter’). Important differences in the base level within the gravel deposits allows the distin- guishing of two complex units (‘Höhere Deckenschotter’, ‘Tiefere Deckenschotter’), separated by a period of substantial incision. Mammal remains place the older unit (‘Höhere Deckenschotter’) into zone MN 17 (2.6–1.8 Ma). Each of the complexes contains evidence for at least two, but probably up-to four, individual glaciations. In summary, up-to eight Early Pleistocene glaciations of the Swiss alpine foreland are proposed. The Early Pleistocene ‘Deckenschotter’ are separated from Middle Pleistocene deposition by a time of important erosion, likely related to tectonic movements and/or re-direction of the Alpine Rhine (Middle Pleistocene Reorganisation – MPR). The Middle-Late Pleistocene comprises four or five glaciations, named Möhlin, Habsburg, Hagenholz (uncertain, inadequately documented), Beringen, and Birrfeld after their key regions. The Möhlin Glaciation represents the most extensive glaciation of the Swiss alpine foreland while the Beringen Glaciation had a slightly lesser extent. The last glacial cycle (Birrfeld Glaciation) probably comprises three independent glacial advances dated to ca.

IAHS Publ. no. 239, 1997. 21 The flood events of 1993/1994 and 1995 in the Rhine River basin H. ENGEL Federal Institute of Hydrology, Kaiserin-Augusta-Anlagen 15-17, D-56068 Koblenz, Germany Abstract The causes of the Rhine floods of 1993/1994 and 1995 are described and compared with those of historic events. Information is given on damages and about consequences drawn at national and international levels. GENERAL BACKGROUND The flood events of 1993/1994 and 1995 and their underlying causes were media topics for weeks. Today, discussions continue as to why these floods were more frequent and their flood peaks higher. The main arguments are anthropogenic interference with nature. GEOGRAPHICAL-HYDROLOGICAL OVERVIEW In a comparison with the river basins of Amazonas or Mississippi-Missouri (7.2 x 106 km2 and 3.2 x 106 km2, respectively), the Rhine basin (Fig. 1) with its area of some 190 000 km2 appears less spectacular. However, the Rhine is one of the rivers with the highest streamflow in Europe and has little seasonal variation in discharge. Moreover, the River Rhine is one of the busiest waterways in the world. Nine states share the Rhine basin and about 50 million people live there. With about 100 000 km2, Germany has the greatest land area within the basin. The 1320 km-long course of the river is divided into six major stretches: (a) the Alpine Rhine and (b) the High Rhine, which are

Party: European Union Jurisdiction/Region: Germany 1: Changes to the Implementation Plan 1.1 Describe any proposed revisions to the Implementation Plan and, where appropriate, provide a revised plan. Item 3.3 - Provide an update on progress against actions relating to Aquaculture, Introductions and Transfers and Transgenics (section 4.8 of the Implementation Plan) - has been supplemented by a new measure (A2). 1.2 Describe any major new initiatives or achievements for salmon conservation and management that you wish to highlight. Rhine ICPR The 15th Conference of Rhine Ministers held on 28th October 2013 in Basel has agreed on the following points for the rebuilding of a self-sustainable salmon population in the Rhine system in its Communiqué of Ministers (www.iksr.org / International Cooperation / Conferences of Ministers): - Salmon stocking can be reduced step by step in parts of the River Sieg system in the lower reaches of the Rhine, even though such stocking measures on the long run remain absolutely essential in the upper reaches of the Rhine, in order to increase the number of returnees and to enhance the carefully starting natural reproduction.
