For the past four years, we have featured conversations with experts on current research topics in the ETH podcast. At the moment the podcast is taking an indefinite break. Until we launch a new podcast format, 43 exciting episodes are available for you to listen to. The alumni podcast "We Are ETH", a podcast series featuring stories from alumni and friends of ETH Zurich moved to its own channel: https://circle.ethz.ch/podcast/ -- ETH Zurich – Where the future begins! Our university for science and technology dates back to the year 1855, when the founders of modern-day Switzerland created it as a centre of innovation and knowledge. At ETH Zurich, students discover an ideal environment for independent thinking, researchers a climate which inspires top performance. Situated in the heart of Europe, yet forging connections all over the world, ETH Zurich is pioneering effective solutions to the global challenges of today and tomorrow. ETH Zurich has an excellent reputation in scientific circles: 21 Nobel laureates have studied, taught or researched here, and ETH regularly ranks as one of the world’s top universities.

episode 64: Discover how landscapes sound
Listening to glaciers
The creaking of the shimmering Morteratsch Glacier, the rumbling of ash-coloured dams, and the steady sloshing of water in grey-blue Zurich reservoirs… In the “Serendipity” seminar series of Chair of Landscape Architecture Christophe Girot, researchers and students leave the seminar room to explore how places sound and how they can be explored by ear. They do this using no more than a microphone and an analogue camera.
In this ETH Podcast, research assistant Ludwig Berger talks about adopting the sonic approach to landscape architecture, capturing sounds with students, and recording a selection on records. Ludwig also talks about the new publication entitled “Bodies of Water - A Swiss Landscape Trilogy”, a collection from collective sonic and photographic research spanning the years 2015–2021.
