Overview The CH2014-Impacts initiative is a concerted national effort to describe impacts of climate change in Switzerland quantitatively, drawing on the scientific resources...

This data collection contains information concerning all accidents by snow avalanches causing at least one fatality in Switzerland. The data set commences on 01/10/1995. After...

This dataset contains the statistics on the number of avalanche fatalities per hydrological year in Switzerland. The data set commences with the beginning of the hydrological...

Dataset (Model input, snow distribution and validation) for the precipitation scaling paper, which should be cited along with the data set citation. This data is useful for...

This dataset contains eddy-covariance measurements in the ablation period of 2014-2016. Measurements were taken from two turbulence towers over a long-lasting snow patch, which...

We recorded snow ablation maps with a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS, Riegl-VZ6000) at the Gletschboden area. The TLS position is located approximately 30 vertical meters above...

In 2013–2014, a survey was conducted in Switzerland to update the Forest Access Roads geo-dataset within the framework of the Swiss National Forest Inventory (NFI). The...

Snowprofile from 11 observer sites in Switzerland compiled for the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). Height of snow (cm) and snow water equivalent (mm) are recorded every...

This dataset comprises of a post-processed set of terrestrial laser scans (TLS’s) of Antarctic sea ice obtained during the Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystem Experiment-2 (SIPEX-2,...

This data set provides estimates of annual fresh water fluxes related to sea-ice formation from ocean freezing and snow-ice formation, sea-ice melting, lateral transport of sea...

The data correspond to the experiments presented and discussed in a paper regarding the interaction between turbulent wind fluctuations and snow saltation mass-fluxes (Paterna,...

To study the performance of mature Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) under chronic drought conditions in comparison to their immediate physiological response to drought release,...

Rufiberg is a pre-alpine meadow site in Switzerland where shallow landslides have been observed after past intense rain storms. In order to assess the triggering mechanisms of...

A landslide testsite dataset related to pore water pressure perturbations on the stability of unsaturated silty sand slopes leading to the initiation and propagation of the...

Switzerland has a reliable and cost efficient energy system. Due to phase out of nuclear energy it is necessary to find new options to maintain this powerful energy system. The...

Long-term data on precipitation and runoff are essential to draw firm conclusions about the behavior and trends of hydrological catchments that may be influenced by land-use and...

Dataset of manual bi-weekly snow profiles from Weissfluhjoch, Davos, Switzerland. Typical snow profile measurements and observations are included (temperature, density, grain...

The dataset comprises > 90 000 records from inventories in 54 strict forest reserves in Switzerland and Lower Saxony / Germany along a considerable environmental gradient. It...
