11.12.2019: We sometimes get asked what are good popular science magazines for young people who are considering to study environmental engineering? I have consulted this question with colleagues and have come with the following subjective list. If you are interested in nature and the environment, and want to get a broad overview of the issues concerning our planet, scientific and engineering advancements try external page Smithsonian, external page Popular Science, external page Sierra Magazine, external page Scientific American in English. Good German alternatives are external page Natur and external page Bild der Wissenschaft. If you are looking for more focussed environmental perspectives in Swiss science and engineering try the less frequent issues of external page Horizonte, the BAFU magazine external page Umwelt, or external page Wasser Energie Luft. All of these have electronic versions and some are free. Some of the above magazines are more suited than others for young people, but they will all give perspectives on what drives environmental engineering into the future, and why it is cool to study this field. And they will make a nice Christmas gift...
