Echoing Swiss Coloniality. Land, Archive and Visuality between Brazil and Switzerland.
Informed by longstanding artistic practice, this doctoral thesis approaches entanglements of Swiss coloniality in Brazil and Switzerland under the lens of land, archive, and visuality. The enduring legacies of imperial capitalism in the former Colonia Leop ...
EPFL2024At what spatial scale does natural selection operate? Using multiscale frameworks to calibrate the effects of environmental factors across landscape continuums
Patterns in nature arise from processes interacting across a continuum of spatial scales, where new relationships emerge at each level of investigation. These patterns are nested features encompassing fine-scale local patterns, such as topography and geolo ...
EPFL2024Bayesian Optimization for Chemical Reactions
Philippe Schwaller, Jeff Guo, Bojana Rankovic
Reaction optimization is challenging and traditionally delegated to domain experts who iteratively pro-pose increasingly optimal experiments. Problematically, the reaction landscape is complex and often requires hundreds of experiments to reach convergence ...
Bern2023Exploration of socio-ecological continuity project in great Geneva, toward a convergence of the territorial project of biodiversity and ecological continuities
Flore Jeanne Marie Andrea Guichot, Marine Françoise Jeannine Villaret
A territorial project impelling biodiversity and socio-ecological transitions implies its renewal. The recognition of the landscape as a support of biodiversity led to the establishment of the tool of ecological continuities (ECs) within territorial planni ...
2022Digitised Historical Newspapers: A Changing Research Landscape (Introduction)
Maud Ehrmann, Frédéric Clavert
The application of digital technologies to newspaper archives is transforming the way historians engage with these sources. The digital evolution not only affects how scholars access historical newspapers, but also, increasingly, how they search, explore a ...
De Gruyter Oldenbourg2022Conduit, Patio, Waste: Mapping Environmental Relations in Bairro da Malagueira
The ongoing ecological crisis is reframing the common binary opposition between architecture and nature and provoking us to ask what kinds of buildings we collectively want to create for the ecosystems that we inhabit. The environment is not a neutral back ...
EPFL2021A framework for quantifying hydrologic effects of soil structure across scales
Earth system models use soil information to parameterize hard-to-measure soil hydraulic properties based on pedotransfer functions. However, current parameterizations rely on sample-scale information which often does not account for biologically-promoted s ...
2021From turbulence to landscapes: Logarithmic mean profiles in bounded complex systems
We show that similarly to the logarithmic mean-velocity profile in wall-bounded turbulence, the landscape topography presents an intermediate region with a logarithmic mean-elevation profile. Such profiles are present in complex topographies with channel b ...
2020Beyond the patch: on landscape-explicit metapopulation dynamics
Climate change threatens biodiversity and species distribution all over the world at unprecedented rates. Human induced changes to landscape structure and habitat are redefining the relation between species and their environment. Understanding, characteriz ...
EPFL2020Spatiotemporal patterns of urbanization in three Swiss urban agglomerations: insights from landscape metrics, growth modes and fractal analysis
Jérôme Chenal, Martí Bosch Padrós, Rémi Jaligot
Context Urbanization is the most important form of landscape change and is increasingly affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Understanding how landscape patterns change in space and time is central to the evaluation of the environmental impacts ...
