Um besser vorhersagen zu können, wie, wo und wann sie talwärts donnern, setzen Lawinenforsc...

Vorstellungen der Zukunft prägen Alltags- und Lebenswelten im Kleinen und legitimieren politisches oder ökonomisches Handeln im Großen. Die Zukunft wird in vielfacher Weise vorherge...

A unique look at the boreal forest, Earth’s vast and vital wilderness. The boreal forest, the planet’s largest land biome, spans the northern regions like “a scarf around the neck of the world.” Besides providing homes for many species, the forest’s influence is far-reaching: its trees and wetlands clean our air and water and are helping slow global climate change.

One of the world’s most magnificent regions comes to vivid life through the art of storytelling.
