Expertise of Wilfried Haeberli:
Additional Specialties:
Environmental glaciology and geomorphodynamics of high-mountain areas, especially concerning climate-related glacier and permafrost monitoring, slope movements, natural hazards, ice core drilling and paleoglaciological modeling
Spatio-temporal information on rapidly changing climate-sensitive high-mountain environments as a strategic tool for communication, analysis, participative planning and management in the intensely developed tourist region of the Upper Engadin
An integrated spatio-temporal ("4-D") geoinformation system was developed and initiated as a tool for communication, analysis, participatory planning and management. Such a tool forms the essential basis for observing and anticipating fast or even accelerating and potentially dramatic future changes in landscape dynamics within a most characteristic but also highly climate-sensitive environment of the Alps. The transdisciplinary study consists of a geoinformation and a policy-oriented part in view of adaptation to inevitable climate change impacts in high-mountain regions.
The integrative geoinformation sytems constitute the essential basis for adequate adaptation measures with respect to climate change but are still in their infancy and need continuous development and upgrading in view of ongoing rapid changes in nature, technology and scientific understanding.
