The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL, German: Eidgenössische Forschungsanstalt für Wald, Schnee und Landschaft, French: Institut fédéral de recherches sur la forêt, la neige et le paysage) is a Swiss research institution, part of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology Domain.[1]
Its scope of research includes "...changes to the terrestrial environment, and the use and protection of natural habitats and cultural landscapes."[2]
It is headquartered in Birmensdorf, Zürich and maintains a large office in Davos, home of the WSL's Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF).[3] The SLF is responsible for producing a national avalanche bulletin twice daily during winter.[4][5]
