AlpWISE : ALPine Water, Ice, Sediment and Ecology

We work on the impacts of rapid climate change and human activities on Alpine landscapes, including glaciers, hydrology, geomorphology and aquatic ecosystems. We work in Europe, South America, Canada and New Zealand, but our primary focus is upon Switzerland.
