  • Report of the Director
    International Foundation HFSJG Activity Report 2007 Report of the Director After the jubilee period 2005 - 2006, the period covered by this report can be marked as “back to normal”. As documented by the individual reports that have been prepared by the respective research groups, the year 2007 was again extremely rich in scientific activity at both sites Jungfraujoch and Gornergrat. Therefore, the main goal of the International Foundation High Altitude Research Stations Jungfraujoch and Gornergrat (HFSJG), i.e. providing infrastructure and support for scientific research of international significance that must be carried out at an altitude of 3000-3500 meters above sea level or for which a high alpine climate and environment are necessary, was successfully pursued. The Foundation HFSJG On September 7, 2007, the Board of the Foundation HFSJG met at the Hotel Zermatterhof in Zermatt for its regular meeting. The president, Prof. Hans Balsiger, had the honor to welcome the members of the board, representatives of the Jungfraujoch Commission of the Swiss Academy of Sciences (scnat), of the Astronomic Commission HFSJG, of the Swiss National Science Foundation, and a small number of distinguished guests. Unfortunately, Mr. Balsiger had to excuse the absence of an Italian delegate. The Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica INAF and the foundation HFSJG are currently in negotiations about INAF’s membership and financial contribution since there are no longer any scientific activities at Gornergrat involving Italian institutions. In the statutory part of the meeting the annual activity report 2006 as well as the statement of accounts for 2006 were approved unanimously and with no abstentions.

This brochure provides a general overview of the Swiss M&A and European private equity market activity in the first quarter of 2014, as well as an outlook for the remainder of 2014. Following a year of subdued performance, the Swiss M&A market got off to a remarkable start in the first three months of 2014, with a significant increase in deal volume despite a decrease in the number of deals. Looking forward, large transactions are expected more often in the Swiss M&A market as executives’ risk appetite for strategic and transformational deals has increased. The favorable financing conditions prevailing at present will help drive this trend, although continuing economic and geopolitical risks in some areas could disrupt the bright outlook. Our next edition of Mergers & Acquisitions Quarterly Switzerland will be available in July 2014.

  • Landschaftliche Wandlungen Im Nördlichen Churer Rheintal Werner Nigg
    LANDSCHAFTLICHE WANDLUNGEN IM NÖRDLICHEN CHURER RHEINTAL WERNER NIGG Das Rheintal zwischen Reichenau und Sargans bildet in natur- und kulturgeographischer Hinsicht weitgehend eine Einheit. Es ist im folgenden versucht, den neueren Wandlungen im Talabschnitt nördlich von Chur nachzugehen. Natürliche Grundlagen Die rund 20 km lange Talschaft verläuft in süd-nördlicher Richtung und bildet eine breite, tiefe Bresche in der nordbündnerischen Bergwelt. Die Talsohle mit den weit ausladenden Schuttfächern ist im Mittel 3 km breit. Das Rheinbett liegt bei Chur 560, bei Fläsch 500 m ü. M. Die beiden Talhänge sind verschiedenartig. Die Ostflanke besteht zwischen den Einmündungen des Schanfigg und des Prätigau aus der Hochwang-Kette, die Höhen bis 1900 m erreicht und aus weichem penninischen Bündner Schiefer aufgebaut ist. Nördlich der Einmündung des Prätigau, der sogenannten Klus, folgt die Vilan-Falk- nis-Gruppe mit Gipfelhöhen bis 2562 m. Sie wird zur Hauptsache aus weichem Flysch- Schiefer aufgebaut; die schroffe Gipfelpartie des Falknis jedoch aus ostalpinen Kalken. Die westliche Talflanke wird von der Kette Calanda (2706 m) - Pizalun (1478 m) gebildet. Hier sieht man deutlich die dicken helvetischen Kalkschichten ostwärts unter die Talsohle einfallen. Ebenfalls zu den helvetischen Decken gehört der relativ niedrige Fläscherberg, der, isoliert im Tal stehend, die nördliche Begrenzung des Bündner Rheintales markiert. Die petrographischen Verhältnisse sind wesentlich mitverantwortlich an der Ver¬ schiedenartigkeit der beiden Talhänge. Die aus weichen Gesteinen bestehenden östli¬ chen Bergzüge sind durch die Arbeit zahlreicher Rufen (Wildbäche) stark zerfurcht worden und fallen zum Teil steil, fast senkrecht ab. Eine Reihe mächtiger Schuttfächer schiebt sich westwärts ins Tal vor und drängt den Rhein auf die Gegenseite.
