2 Overview and challenges of Swiss polar science Hubertus Fischer University of Bern, president of the SKPH

3 Science Highlights: Glaciology - The impact of climate change on glaciers

4 Science Highlights: Mr. Schneebeli s feeling for snow

5 Science Highlights: Polar atmospheres - modeling and observations

6 Science Highlights: Ice core a window to past climate change

7 Science Highlights: (Marine) Geology a window to past climate change

8 Science Highlights: Polar oceans climate and biogeochemical hotspots

9 Science Highlights: Sea ice in the climate system

10 Science Highlights: Ecology, biodiversity, biogeochemistry - from pole to pole

11 Science Highlights: Social-ecological systems

12 Swiss Polar Research Literature survey (by D. Walton) (a status quo) Swiss researchers published 3-4% of all papers on polar research worldwide in the last 15 yr. The larger part of the papers was on the Arctic. Publication activity increased over-proportionally in recent years Highest numbers of publications and citations was from ETHZ and UniBern The most frequent collaborations on the publications was with: CNRS, Helmholtz Association (AWI), NERC, Paris-Saclay, AARI, UCalifornia, UCopenhagen, MPI, NOAA, UUtrecht, Columbia, UStockholm, NASA, UAlaska, UCambridge, UColorado,...

19 Swiss Committee on Polar and High Altitude Research Committee of the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences and the Platform Science and Policy of the Swiss Academy of Natural Sciences (SCNAT). The committee s main objectives are: to provide the legal body to represent Switzerland in international committees on polar and high altitude research to play an active role in promoting the change of status of Switzerland from non-voting to voting member of the Antarctic Treaty. to promote the career of young outstanding scientists in the fields of Polar and High Altitude research (Prix De Quervain). to recognize research needs and issues in the thematic fields concerning the committee. to sensitize the society to polar and high altitude research issues to stimulate the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary exchange and cooperation in polar and high altitude issues concerning research, international law and society.

20 Swiss Polar Research Overview and Challenges Swiss science representation in international polar programmes Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Geoscience (Schneebeli) Life Sciences (Hassler, Pawlowski) Physical Sciences (Leonard, Steffen, Vollmer) International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) Atmospheric WG (Schmale) Cryosphere WG (Schneebeli) Terrestrial WG (Rixen, Schaepman-Strub) Arctic Council Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) (Schmale, Steffen) Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) (Schaepman-Strub)

21 Swiss Polar Research Overview and Challenges Overview Swiss polar science renowned internationally Swiss polar science very diverse Swiss polar science covers all polar regions AND high altitude research Swiss polar science is bottom up (support of the best ideas) Challenges Bottom-up implies more fragmentation/requires structuring with clear tasks Swiss polar science has no full-fledged national logistics provider / SPI a facilitator Swiss polar logistics costs fall between the boat and the pier Swiss polar science looses many of the best young researchers after their PhD
