Ecosystem engineering by periphyton in Alpine proglacial streams

Tom Ian Battin, Davide Mancini, Marc Aguet, Adrijan Selitaj, Matteo Roncoroni

Stream periphytons are candidate ecosystem engineers in proglacial margins. Here, we quantify the extent to which they are engineers for the case of hillslope-fed tributaries in the terrace zones of proglacial margin alluvial plains. Candidate ecosystem en ...

Groundwater recharge in the Bekaa : insights for enhanced water management

water scarcity, millions of people are subject to insufficient access to safe drinking water and sanitation services in Lebanon. Too often, water scarcity is interpreted as a natural phenomena or the result of technical failures, neglecting the fact that i ...

Effect of PEM fuel cell porous media compression on in-plane transport phenomena

Mahbod Heidari

Liquid-gas two-phase flow in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is investigated using an ex-situ experimental setup. The mass transport phenomena is investigated in carbon paper and carbon cloth GDLs and at different compr ...

Ecohydrological controls on plant diversity in tropical South America

Sara Bonetti

Plant species distribution is dominated by abundance and fluctuations of the available resources. Although diversity patterns along rainfall, latitudinal, and altitudinal gradients have been thoroughly examined, the role of hydrological processes in sustai ...

Modeling of Hydrological Processes in Arid Agricultural Regions

David Andrew Barry

Understanding of hydrological processes, including consideration of interactions between vegetation growth and water transfer in the root zone, underpins efficient use of water resources in arid-zone agriculture. Water transfers take place in the soil-plan ...

Modelling Lake Kivu water level variations over the last seven decades

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

This study aimed at analysing the hydrological changes in the Lake Kivu Basin over the last seven decades with focus on the response of the lake water level to meteorological factors and hydropower dam construction. Historical precipitation and lake water ...

Non-stationarity of solute travel time distribution observed in a controlled hydrologic transport volume

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz, Luca Carraro, Gianluca Botter

Experimental data were collected over a year-long period in a transport experiment carried out within a controlled transport volume (represented by a 2m-deep, 1m-diameter lysimeter fitted with bottom drainage). The soil surface was shielded from natural ra ...

Modelling migration and dissolution of mineral particles in saturated porous media

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Understanding and predicting the fate in soils and other porous media of solid mineral particles with grain diameters in the micrometer range is important in a number of environmental and civil engineering applications, including subsurface hydrology, wast ...

Capillary Effects on Groundwater Waves in Unconfined Coastal Aquifers

David Andrew Barry

Various types of Boussinesq model exist, including those that account for finite-depth aquifers and capillary effects. Such models are used to simulate propagation of groundwater waves (watertable fluctuations) due to, for example, tides. However, discrepa ...

Stochastic modeling of salt accumulation in the root zone due to capillary flux from brackish groundwater

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis

[1] Groundwater can be a source of both water and salts in semiarid areas, and therefore, capillary pressure-induced upward water flow may cause root zone salinization. To identify which conditions result in hazardous salt concentrations in the root zone, ...
