Im vergangenen Jahr wurden sechs neue Spin-offs gegründet. Mehr 2025-03-04 Carole Scheidegger |
Young Star Clusters Give Birth to Rogue Planetary-Mass Objects How do rogue planetary-mass objects – celestial bodies with masses between stars and planets – form? An international team of astronomers has used advanced simulations to show that these enigmatic objects are linked to the chaotic dynamics of young star clusters. Mehr 2025-02-26 |
Melting Glaciers Increase Loss of Freshwater Resources and Rise Global Sea Levels The melting ice from glaciers worldwide is leading to an increased loss of regional freshwater resources. Since the year 2000, glaciers have been losing 273 billion tons of ice annually. Mehr 2025-02-18 |
Climate Change Increases Risk of Successive Natural Hazards in the Himalayas An international research team has concluded that the Sikkim flood disaster in the Himalayas in October 2023 was caused by some 14.7 million cubic meters of frozen moraine material collapsing into South Lhonak Lake, triggering a 20-meter flood wave. The event is a striking example of the increasing dangers of climate change in high mountain regions. Mehr 2025-01-29 |
"We might be underestimating biodiversity loss" Researchers have discovered more than 200 new animal and plant species in the Mekong region of Southeast Asia. In an interview with Radio SRF, Sofia van Moorsel, biodiversity expert at the Department of Geography, explains what science can learn from this and whether these species discoveries can put extinction into perspective.
