Diagonal – the WSL magazine

Main menu

 

Twice a year (every June and November) our free magazine, DIAGONAL, reports in English, French and German on WSL's latest research findings and on its work. Besides providing specific information on our given topics forest, landscape, biodiversity, natural hazards and snow and ice, each edition of the magazine focuses on a specific core research topic.

 

Current edition: No. 1/23: Boundaries: fixed or fluid

The diagonal was created in this edition as PDF with interactive links for navigation.
