Description: Das Projekt "Climate Change impacts on glaciers in Switzerland (CCglinCH)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Zürich, Geographisches Institut durchgeführt. The project CCglinCH is composed of two different studies which both aim in assessing future run-off and hydrology for large catchments of the Swiss Alps. Both studies are operationally led by WSL (Birmensdorf) and were funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Environment (FOEN, in german: BAfU) and the electricity company of the Valais (Forces Motrices Valaisannes, FMV). The FOEN project is called Natürlicher Wasserhaushalt der Schweiz und ihrere bedeutendsten Grosseinzugsgebiete (WHH-CH), while the FMV study is called Sektorielle Studie zum Einfluss der Klimaänderung auf die Wasserkraftnutzung im Kanton Wallis. The two projects are different in the considered regional coverage (entire Switzerland vs. Valais), and the level of detail that will be considered in the modelling approach. The Dept. of Geography is responsible for the subproject GLAC in the FOEN project and module B in the FMV project. The two major steps of methodological development in the project CCglinCH include: - calculate maps of future glacier extent (based on Paul et al., 2007) that can be used as an input in the hydrological model PREVAH - obtain glacier thickness distribution for all Swiss glaciers using a GIS modelling approach (based on the parameterizations by Haeberli and Hoelzle, 1995).
