Dating at least to the 11th century, bisses are a traditional irrigation system built in response to the periodic summer water deficits in the Valais canton of Switzerland. System expanded in 15th century in order to intensify meadow production
Vertical and horizontal borehole deformations have been measured in 3 rock glaciers in Switzerland. The results are compared in this paper. In addition, the results of 2 recent drilling campaigns, one on the Muragl and one on the Murtèl-Corvatsch
Relief-rejuvenation and topographic length scales in a fluvial drainage basin, Napf area, Central Switzerland
Base level ; Digital elevation model ; Erosion ; Geomorphometry ; Longitudinal section ; Sediment transport ; Stream ; Switzerland ; Topography ; Watershed
This paper presents a detailed study from the approximately 63 km2 Fontanne drainage basin located in the Luzern area, Central Switzerland. It illustrates that this drainage basin has adapted to a lowered base level by headward erosion. The mode
