On the use of leaf water to determine plant water source: A proof of concept
Source water apportionment studies using the dual isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen have revolutionized our understanding of ecohydrology. But despite these developments-mostly over the past decade-many technical problems still exist in terms of linking xyle ...
WILEY2021Studies on the mechanical evolution of compacted bentonite subjected to environmental actions
Deep geological disposal is currently the most feasible option for the long-term isolation of radioactive waste, consisting in emplacing the waste into tunnels or drifts excavated at great depths in suitable geological formations. The use of bentonite, a h ...
EPFL2021Energy efficiency and biological interactions define the core microbiome of deep oligotrophic groundwater
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Emma Bell
While oligotrophic deep groundwaters host active microbes attuned to the low-end of the bioenergetics spectrum, the ecological constraints on microbial niches in these ecosystems and their consequences for microbiome convergence are unknown. Here, we provi ...
NATURE RESEARCH2021Towards an improved understanding of biogeochemical processes across surface-groundwater interactions in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams
Luis Gómez Gener, Oleksandra Shumilova
Surface-groundwater interactions in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), waterways which do not flow year-round, are spatially and temporally dynamic because of alternations between flowing, non-flowing and dry hydrological states. Interaction ...
2021A framework for quantifying hydrologic effects of soil structure across scales
Earth system models use soil information to parameterize hard-to-measure soil hydraulic properties based on pedotransfer functions. However, current parameterizations rely on sample-scale information which often does not account for biologically-promoted s ...
2021Groundwater Buffers Drought Effects and Climate Variability in Urban Reserves
Groundwater can have a critical role in sustaining the functioning of natural ecosystems during droughts, especially in dry and seasonally dry climates. However, the response to droughts of ecosystems embedded in urban areas is not well known. This study i ...
2020Effect of PEM fuel cell porous media compression on in-plane transport phenomena
Liquid-gas two-phase flow in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is investigated using an ex-situ experimental setup. The mass transport phenomena is investigated in carbon paper and carbon cloth GDLs and at different compr ...
ELSEVIER2020Thermal Effects on Flow and Salinity Distributions in Coastal Confined Aquifers
Coastal aquifers provide an important hydrologic connection between terrestrial freshwater and oceanic seawater. Understanding the water flow and salinity distributions in those aquifers is essential to manage seawater intrusion and regional groundwater re ...
AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION2020Watertable fluctuation-induced variability in the water retention curve: Sand column experiments
David Andrew Barry, Zhaoyang Luo
The soil water retention curve (WRC), describing the relation between the soil water content and its corresponding capillary pressure, relies not only on whether drying or wetting occurs but also on the pore scale water flow velocity. Here, we investigated ...
