Scientific Opportunities and Environmental Impacts Related to Ski Run Construction, Zermatt, Swiss Alps
The building of ski runs and their associated installations are likely to influence the alpine environment and the permafrost present at many of those sites. Therefore, it is important to have a good understanding of the impacts of this construction. As it is impossible to restore the normal environ...
