LeXPLORE: A floating laboratory on Lake Geneva offering unique lake research opportunities
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Sébastien Lavanchy
Environmental sciences depend heavily on observational data. Successful studies of ecological processes in lakes require in-situ data that cover the relevant temporal scales from milliseconds to entire seasons. Temporal and spatial coverage requirements re ...
2021Counting People by Estimating People Flows
Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Weizhe Liu
Modern methods for counting people in crowded scenes rely on deep networks to estimate people densities in individual images. As such, only very few take advantage of temporal consistency in video sequences, and those that do only impose weak smoothness co ...
2021Praxisorientierte Forschung im Bereich Wasserbau und Ökologie [Practice-oriented research in hydraulic engineering and ecology]
Wasserbau und Ökologie (W&Ö) ist ein schweizweites Forschungsprogramm zu den Themen Renaturierung, Biodiversitätsförderung, Wassernutzung und Naturgefahren im Bereich von Fliessgewässern und den davon direkt beeinflussten Mündungsbereichen und Ufern der Se ...
ETH2021Controlling oscillations in spectral methods by local artificial viscosity governed by neural networks
Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Deep Ray, Lukas Schwander
While a nonlinear viscosity is used widely to control oscillations when solving conservation laws using high-order elements based methods, such techniques are less straightforward to apply in global spectral methods since a local estimate of the solution r ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2021Diversité des lichens et enjeux de gestion dans les forêts de Montricher
Two lichenological studies were conducted in the Montricher forests, one on lignicolous lichens of stumps in 2005 and the other on lichens of the different forest types in 2015. The synthesis of the two allows to establish a reference state of forest liche ...
2021Using Modern Conservation Tools for Innovative Management of Coral Reefs: The MANACO Consortium
Anders Meibom, Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Véronique Berteaux-Lecellier
Coral reefs are under threat and innovative management strategies are urgently required. However, discoveries from innovative fields of coral reef research are rarely transposed in practical conservation actions. This is mainly due to the difficulties in k ...
2020Species conservation in the face of global environmental changes: surface-based modelling of geo-environmental data to identify vulnerable populations
Human activities are resulting in many land-use changes, particularly due to urbanisation and intensification of agricultural practices. Because of these changes, in addition to climate change, many species are facing habitat degradation. In order to avoid ...
EPFL2020Monitoring biodiversity in the Anthropocene using remote sensing in species distribution models
In the face of the growing challenges brought about by human activities, effective planning and decision-making in biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, restoration, and sustainable development are urgently needed. Ecological models can play a key role ...
2020Seascape genomics to empower coral reef conservation strategies
The future of coral reefs is under threat since anomalous heat waves are causing the death of reef building corals around the world. This phenomenon, known as "coral bleaching", has already resulted in widespread loss of coral over the past 30 years. Witho ...
EPFL2020Seascape genomics as a new tool to empower coral reef conservation strategies: an example on north‐western Pacific Acropora digitifera
Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Estelle Rochat
Coral reefs are suffering a major decline due to the environmental constraints imposed by climate change. Over the last 20 years, three major coral bleaching events occurred in concomitance with anomalous heatwaves, provoking a severe loss of coral cover w ...
