Reliable quantitative precipitation estimation is crucial to better understand and eventually prevent water-related natural hazards (floods, landslides, avalanches, ...). Because rainfall is highly variable in time and space, precipitation monitoring and f ...
This paper presents a comparative study on the mapping of temperature and precipitation fields in complex Alpine terrain. Its relevance hinges on the major impact that inadequate interpolations of meteorological forcings bear on the accuracy of hydrologic ...
The research deals with the novel application of Support Vector Machines (Support Vector Classification and Support Vector Regression) for the analysis and modelling of spatial environmental data. Multiclass classification of soil types and pollution mappi ...
Spatial modeling of rare events has obvious applications in the environmental sciences and is crucial when assessing the effects of catastrophic events (such as heatwaves or widespread flooding) on food security and on the sustainability of societal infras ...
The large variability of the drop size distribution (DSD) in space and time must be taken into account to improve remote sensing of precipitation. The ability to simulate a large number of 2D fields of DSD sharing the same statistical properties provides a ...
Switzerland has about 6,000 shooting ranges, of which 2,000 are still in use. These activities generate a significant lead pollution. FOEN estimated 200 tons of lead is fired each year. This Master Project has been realized with the consultancy office CSD ...
This paper proposes the use of Gaussian Mixture Models to estimate conditional probability density functions. A conditional Gaussian Mixture Model has been compared to the geostatistical method of Sequential Gaussian Simulations. The data set used is a par ...
The report deals with the novel application of Support Vector Machines (Support Vectore Classification and Support Vector Regression) for the analysis and modelling of reservoir data. 2 problems are considered: classification and mapping of porosity data. ...
We revisit the topics of near-field adaptive beamforming and source localization following an alternative approach based on a spatio- temporal spectral representation of the acoustic wave field. With the proposed method, the wave field is expressed as a se ...
