The consequences of climate change are clearly visible in the Swiss Alps. In the past decades, increasing air temperatures have induced pronounced glacier retreat and permafrost thawing. Thawing permafrost in steep terrain is a potential natural hazard, as ...
A thorough theoretical description of ultrafast phenomena that occur in complex systems constitutes a formidable challenge. It not only necessitates the use of quantum mechanical methods that can describe ground and possibly even electronically excited sta ...
The processes driving current changes in Arctic atmospheric composition and climate are still uncertain. In particular the relative contributions of major source regions from the midlatitudes remain a matter of debate in the literature. The objectives of t ...
