Daily entropy of dissolved oxygen reveals different energetic regimes and drivers among high‐mountain stream types

High‐resolution time series of dissolved oxygen (DO) have revealed different ecosystem energetics regimes across various stream types. Ecosystem energetic regimes are relevant to better understand the transformation and retention of nutrients and carbon in ...

Characterization of bacterial communities in Lake Geneva by comparing genetic and physiological methods

Coralie Chappelier

Over the last century, the level of atmospheric CO2 has increased to the highest concentrations on Earth within the past 800'000 years. Current predictions anticipate that the effects of greenhouse gases will lead to a rise in air temperature ranging betwe ...

Optimal multi-energy system design for the EnergyPolis Campus

Rafael Angelus Graf

According to the latest reports of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), tipping pointscould be overshoot between only 1 and 2°C [1, 2]. Therefore fossil-free solutions are needed rapidly,as put by Lenton et al.[3]: If current national pledges ...

Stream temperature and discharge evolution in Switzerland over the last 50 years: annual and seasonal behaviour

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Adrien Michel, Bettina Schaefli, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

Stream temperature and discharge are key hydro- logical variables for ecosystem and water resource management and are particularly sensitive to climate warming. Despite the wealth of meteorological and hydrological data, few studies have quantified observe ...

Nonreciprocity in acoustic and elastic materials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hussein Nassar

The law of reciprocity in acoustics and elastodynamics codifies a relation of symmetry between action and reaction in fluids and solids. In its simplest form, it states that the frequency-response functions between any two material points remain the same a ...

Assessing the impact of ground ice degradation on high mountain lake environments (Lago Nero catchment, Swiss Alps)

Nicola Deluigi, Monica Bulgheroni

In high mountain hydrosystems, glacial meltwater composition is potentially affected by the degradation of alpine permafrost terrains and ground ice bodies releasing atmospheric pollutants that have been stored in permafrost terrains for several decades. I ...

Review of multi-domain approaches to indoor environmental perception and behaviour

Matteo Favero

Building occupants are continuously exposed to multiple indoor environmental stimuli, including thermal, visual, acoustic, and air quality related factors. Moreover, personal and contextual aspects can be regarded as additional domains influencing occupant ...

PORTUGAL Lessons

Harry Gugger

The environment is a space that surrounds, encloses, encircles. The object is a thing that limits a place and a point of view. To think of architecture as an “environmental object” means to question this dynamic of separation and imagine a discipline that ...

Impacts of thermal mismatches on chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis prevalence are moderated by life stage, body size, elevation and latitude

Suzanne Marie Young

Global climate change is increasing the frequency of unpredictable weather conditions; however, it remains unclear how species-level and geographic factors, including body size and latitude, moderate impacts of unusually warm or cool temperatures on diseas ...

The Legacy Effects of Winter Climate on Microbial Functioning After Snowmelt in a Subarctic Tundra

Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov

Warming-induced increases in microbial CO2 release in northern tundra may positively feedback to climate change. However, shifts in microbial extracellular enzyme activities (EEAs) may alter the impacts of warming over the longer term. We investigated the ...
