Fungal community composition predicts forest carbon storage at a continental scale
Forest soils harbor hyper-diverse microbial communities which fundamentally regulate carbon and nutrient cycling across the globe. Directly testing hypotheses on how microbiome diversity is linked to forest carbon storage has been difficult, due to a lack ...
Nature Portfolio2024Electron transfer reactions and their role in soil carbon cycling
Electron transfer reactions are central to the transformation of energy in the environment and play an important role in biogeochemical element cycling. In soils, one of the main drivers of carbon cycling is the activity of organisms that utilize the energ ...
2024Harnessing Porous Materials for Efficient Gas Capture: A Computational Exploration of Structure, Function, and Workflow Automation
Industrial chemistry heavily relies on traditional separation methods which are both energy-demanding and environmentally detrimental. This thesis addresses critical separation challenges, specifically carbon capture applications and the separation of ethy ...
EPFL2024Lotic-SIPCO2: Adaptation of an open-source CO2 sensor system and examination of associated emission uncertainties across a range of stream sizes and land uses
River networks play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, as relevant sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. Advancements in high-frequency monitoring in aquatic environments have enabled measurement of dissolved CO2 concentration at tempo ...
Hoboken2024Continuous Supercritical Water Impregnation Method for the Preparation of Metal Oxide on Activated Carbon Composite Materials
Metal oxide (MexOy) nanomaterials are used as catalysts and/or sorbents in processes taking place in supercritical water (scH2O), which is the “green” solvent needed to obtain energy-relevant products. Their properties are significantly influenced by the s ...
2024Advanced Manufacturing and Characterization of Building-Integrated Photovoltaic Modules
Photovoltaic (PV) technology is necessary for global decarbonization. However, one of the challenges of the technology is that its land use may conflict with other space demands. Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is a solution to efficiently use the ...
EPFL2024A role for the carbon source of the cell and protein kinase A in regulating the S. pombe septation initiation network
Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Bastien Mangeat, Özge Uysal Özdemir
The septation initiation network (SIN) is a conserved signal transduction network, which is important for cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The SIN component Etd1p is required for association of some SIN proteins with the spindle pole body (SPB) du ...

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Bastien Mangeat, Özge Uysal Özdemir
The Septation Initiation Network (SIN) is a conserved signal transduction network, which is important for cytokinesis in S. pombe. The SIN component Etd1p is required for association of some SIN proteins with the spindle pole body (SPB) during anaphase and ...
EPFL Infoscience2024Carbon budgets at the component scale and their impacts on design choices: the façade as a case study
Marilyne Andersen, Nazanin Rezaei Oghazi, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme
In accordance with the Paris agreement, the Swiss Climate Strategy (SCS) defines the net-zero target to be reached before 2050, which demands for a thoughtful carbon budget allocation between the different contributors. Ongoing normalization tasks are curr ...
2023Glacier retreat and increasing vegetation cover alter the sources and sinks of organic and inorganic carbon in alpine streams
Nicola Deluigi, Andrew Lean Robison
High-mountain ecosystems are experiencing acute effects of climate change, most visibly through glacier recession and the greening of the terrestrial environment. The streams draining these landscapes are affected by these shifts, integrating hydrologic, g ...
