Title: How ski resorts hold on to their snow
Runtime: 2:07
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: In the face of climate change, Swiss ski resorts are coming up with novel ways to keep their snow and even to create more. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)

The ski season has become shorter over the last 45 years, according to a 2016 study from the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research and the University of Neuchâtel. They found that snow now arrives on average 12 days later in the autumn and melts around 25 days earlier in spring, than it did in 1970. As a result, resorts have had to find ways of holding onto their snow a little longer to ensure the survival of ski tourism.

Andermatt's winter season is getting underway this week, thanks to a new method of preserving snow from last season. The Sörenberg ski region in central Switzerland has new lifts that will take visitors to even higher slopes, where snow conditions are more reliable, while mountain railway bosses in the Aletsch region of Valais want to create a new lake to provide water for snow cannons ...

Title: Why Switzerland feels like ‘heimat’
Runtime: 3:14
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: The German term 'heimat' means, roughly, having a home or a sense of belonging. The term can have profound meaning for members of the Swiss diaspora.

For Beth Zurbuchen, president of the Swiss Center of North America, connections to "heimat" are both very personal and an integral part of her everyday work.

People living in Switzerland have their own perspectives on the term, an issue explored by a current exhibit on "heimat" at the museum Stapferhaus in Lenzburg. As part of the exhibit, organisers asked people riding the Ferris wheel at fun fairs around Switzerland different questions around what home and belonging means to them.

Zurbuchen recently spoke at the Stapferhaus about her experiences finding "heimat" and her work with members of the Swiss community in North America.

Doing the math to solve renewable energy problem

Title: Doing the math to solve renewable energy problem
Runtime: 6:50
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: Gabriela Hug aims to make a significant contribution to the energy revolution by taking a mathematical approach.

The 38-year-old associate professor at the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich could make a substantial contribution to the shift to renewable energy.

The challenge is to overcome the discontinuity of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, which vary depending on the time of day and weather conditions.

Hug has turned to math as part of her work to make the energy grid more efficient, and first wants to optimise a small section of the power network before making changes to the entire system.

Her field of research is dominated by men, so she's also become a role model for her students at the institute, as well as an encouragement for the next generation. Hug herself could still pass for a student.

She has also worked in Canada and spent several years as a professor at the Carne...
