In 1906, Pierre de Coubertin (the founder of the modern Olympic Games), published an article in La Revue Olympique in which he considered the shores of Lake Geneva a particularly suitable place for the establishment of a « modern Olympia». His publication reveals the importance of sports practices of the Lake Geneva region at the beginning of the 20th century. This article follows two aims. On the one hand, it describes the establishment of these foreign practices in the Swiss part of Lake Geneva. On the other hand, and by questioning this dynamism, it examines the investment of the first promoters of modern sports, particularly in the fields of education, tourism, and cultural association. I argue that this constellation in particular enabled the development of these practices and helped to overcome local opposition. The following research is built from a rich corpus of biographies and documentation from several state and sports archives of the region, complemented by articles from the general and sports press of Lake Geneva of this epoch. Finally, the paper proposes a first synthesis of published works on the rise of modern sports in the Lake Geneva region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between 1965 and 1969, the Swiss Army created the digital terrain model Rimini. For the first time, the country's relief had been described for an electronic computer. In the following decades, digital terrain modeling became crucial for numerous applications. They were indispensable whenever a computer needed to know the country's surface structure, e. g., in artillery calculations. The path to obtaining such digital terrain models (DTMs) was subject to repeated changes. In particular, the question whether DTMs should be derived from topographic maps or aerial photographs caused several turnarounds. Furthermore, the history of DTMs shows that digital innovations had to blend into their analog environment to be successful. First, both DTMs created in Switzerland in the 20th century were derived from analog topographic maps. Therefore, they were inextricably linked to the graphic elevation models that can be found on paper maps. Second, while DTMs consisted of numbers only, their visual presentation relied on the well-established graphics human readers were accustomed to, such as contour lines and panoramic views. Thus, rather than being a radically new way of describing topography, digital spatial data in the 20th century entangled the electronic computer with the analog map. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper examines the formation and dissemination of climate change knowledge in newspapers and climatological handbooks in the German-speaking countries. It is shown that, first, media played an important role in co-producing knowledge and understanding of climate and climate change by framing the latest findings of the emerging discipline of climatology. Second, media coverage of climate, and the creation, change, and circulation of climate knowledge, contributed significantly to establishing and regulating climate knowledge as knowledge of time in a sociocultural sense. Based on climate knowledge disseminated by the media, time horizons and temporal projections expanded in the course of the 19th century, imagining a past and future of climate and relating them to each other.
