Climate Change: the Swiss perspective

Verfasst von Prof. Dr. Martin Grosjean

Worum geht es?

Switzerland and the Alps respond very sensitively to global climate change: the observed temperature increase over the 20th century has been twice as fast as the global average. The main forcing factors that have changed the energy balance at the Earth’s surface are briefly reviewed; regional scenarios and observed/expected impacts for Central Europe are discussed. Emphasis is put on the water cycle and the cryosphere.
