Dataset for: Future water temperature of rivers in Switzerland under climate change investigated with physics-based models

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Adrien Michel, Bettina Schaefli, Nander Wever

This work presents the first extensive study of climate change impacts on rivers temperature in Switzerland. Results show that even for low emissions scenarios, water temperature increase will lead to adverse effect for both ecosystems and socioeconomic se ...

Climate Change Impacts on Groundwater Recharge in Cold and Humid Climates: Controlling Processes and Thresholds

Emmanuel Qays Dubois

Long-term changes in precipitation and temperature indirectly impact aquifers through groundwater recharge (GWR). Although estimates of future GWR are needed for water resource management, they are uncertain in cold and humid climates due to the wide range ...

Future trends in wind resources and their consistency in the Indian sub-continent

Michael Lehning, Adrien Michel, Yasmine Zakari

We use the latest Coordinated Regional Dynamical Experiment regional climate models over South Asia at 0.22 degrees grid spacing (WAS-22) under two Representative Concentration Pathways scenarios (RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5) to evaluate their performance against ...

Climate-Neutral Global Aviation - are we on the right track?

Sascha Nick

Is climate-neutral aviation even possible, what would it look like, and how do we get there? It is difficult to imagine effective international climate action without making aviation climate-neutral, due to its significant and growing climate impact, and t ...

Climate change impacts on water sustainability of South African crop production

Sara Bonetti

Agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions is particularly vulnerable to climate change, which, combined with projected food requirements, makes the sustainable management of water resources critical to ensure national and global food security. ...

High-resolution impact assessment of climate change on building energy performance considering extreme weather events and microclimate – Investigating variations in indoor thermal comfort and degree-days

Kavan Javanroodi, Vahid Moussavi Nik, Mohammad Hosseini

Climate change and urbanization are two major challenges when planning for sustainable energy transition in cities. The common approach for energy demand estimation is using only typical meso-scale weather data in building energy models (BEMs), which under ...

Annual cycle observations of aerosols capable of ice formation in central Arctic clouds

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck

The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth, prompting glacial melt, permafrost thaw, and sea ice decline. These severe consequences induce feedbacks that contribute to amplified warming, affecting weather and climate globally. Aerosols and cl ...

Response of alpine stream biofilms to climate change induced stressors

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Nicola Deluigi, David Touchette, Martina Gonzalez Mateu, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Paraskevi Pramateftaki

Alpine streams are expected to face an intensification of environmental stressors due to climate change. Being at the interface of the vanishing cryosphere, alpine streams are particularly susceptible to increasing temperatures and to changing hydrology. A ...

Decomposition Strategy for Districts as Renewable Energy Hubs

François Maréchal, Cédric Terrier, Luise Middelhauve

In light of the energy transition, it becomes a widespread solution to decentralize and to decarbonize energy systems. However, limited transformer capacities are a hurdle for large-scale integration of solar energy in the electricity grid. The aim of this ...

Reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions is not the only solution

Justine Brun

With the increasing strength and frequency of climate change events, the urgency to mitigate climate change impact is ever so important. Canada reported his Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and submitted its ambition to reduce his Greenhouse Gas (G ...
