Tree water uptake patterns across the globe
Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen
Plant water uptake from the soil is a crucial element of the global hydrological cycle and essential for vegetation drought resilience. Yet, knowledge of how the distribution of water uptake depth (WUD) varies across species, climates, and seasons is scarc ...
Wiley2024Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Flow and Hydrochemistry in Drainage Networks
Despite their high ecological value, non-perennial streams have received less attention than their perennial counterparts. This doctoral thesis addresses this disparity by advancing knowledge on the dynamics of the drainage density and hydrologic processes ...

Context • Groundwater major water resource throughout the world that is heterogeneously distributed and sustains diversified uses • The sustainability of groundwater usage highly dependent on the relative rates of groundwater abstraction e g via pumping) a ...
2024Effects of Hyporheic Exchange and Settlement on the Particle Size Distribution of Colloids
David Andrew Barry, Qihao Jiang
Colloid particle size plays an important role in contaminant adsorption and clogging in the hyporheic zone, but it remains unclear how the particle size changes during the transport of colloids. This study investigated the variation of the particle size of ...
New York2024Soil warming alters tree water use and canopy stomatal conductance in a mixed subtropical forest
Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen
As air temperature and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) increase continuously, forests are losing more water through evapotranspiration, with large consequences for local and global hydrological cycles. In regions with high vegetation cover, soil warming can b ...
Elsevier2024Ecosystem 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 ...
WILEY2023Short-term dynamics of drainage density based on a combination of channel flow state surveys and water level measurements
Andrea Rinaldo, Jana Freiin von Freyberg, Izabela Bujak-Ozga
Headwater streams often experience intermittent flow. Consequently, the flowing drainage network expands and contracts and the flowing drainage density (DD) varies over time. Monitoring the DD dynamics is essential to understand the processes controlling i ...
Hoboken2023Interfacial Inversion, Interference, and IR Absorption in Vibrational Sum Frequency Scattering Experiments
Sylvie Roke, Saranya Pullanchery Sankara Narayanan, Lei Zhang, Sergey Kulik
Molecular interfacial structure greatly determines thepropertiesof nano- and microscale systems. Vibrational sum frequency scattering(SFS) spectroscopy is a unique interface-selective tool to measurethe interfacial vibrational spectrum of sub-micron to mic ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2023Brief communication: Application of a muonic cosmic ray snow gauge to monitor the snow water equivalent on alpine glaciers
Monitoring the snow water equivalent (SWE) in the harsh environments of high mountain regions is a challenge. Here, we explore the use of muon counts to infer SWE. We deployed a muonic cosmic ray snow gauge (mu-CRSG) on a Swiss glacier during the snow-rich ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2022Impacts of climate change on Swiss alluvial aquifers - A quantitative forecast focused on natural and artificial groundwater recharge by surface water infiltration
The sensitivity of future groundwater recharge and temperature development was investigated for three alluvial aquifers in the urban agglomeration of the city of Basel, Switzerland. For selected climate projections groundwater recharge and the associated t ...
