Leveraging species distribution models to predict the impact of climate change on glacier-fed stream biofilms
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Andrew Lean Robison, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis
Owing to climate changes, glaciers and ice sheets are rapidly shrinking worldwide, altering the geophysical properties of many ecosystems. In this context, glacier-fed streams are expected to undergo major physical and chemical modifications in the future. ...
2022Sampling Geometry and Colour
In this thesis, we take a signal-processing approach to two research areas outside of the core of the signal processing research: geometry reconstruction and light propagation through non-uniform media.In the first area, we consider new sampling schemes in ...
EPFL2021Geometrical control of fluid flow through single carbonate fracture
Fluid flow through single rough surface is critical for many geophysical processes and engineering applications. Thus, relations between flow and surrounding fracture geometry will be investigated. Four pairs of engineered Carrara marble surfaces with diff ...
2020How does seismic anisotropy evolve as a function of mineralogical and textural changes across ductile shear zones? – an experimental and modelling approach
Henri Joseph François Gilles Leclère
Strain localization and the development of ductile shear zones in the middle and lower crust play major roles in lithosphere dynamics. Geophysical imaging of ductile shear zones is an issue for ore geology, for the understanding of the lithosphere rheology ...
2019Subaquatic slope instabilities: The aftermath of river correction and artificial dumps in Lake Biel (Switzerland)
Alfred Johny Wüest, Laëtitia Meuriot, Nathalie Dubois
River engineering projects are developing rapidly across the globe, drastically modifying water courses and sediment transfer. Investigation of the impact of engineering works focuses usually on short-term impacts, thus a longer-term perspective is still m ...
2019The Role of Geological Barriers in Achieving Robust Well Integrity
Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion
Wells play a key role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. They are not only a critical element in ensuring the permanent trapping of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep subsurface permeable formations, but they are also being recognized as an important ...
2017Review of current GPS methodologies for producing accurate time series and their error sources
Jean-Philippe Lucien Montillet
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an important tool to observe and model geodynamic processes such as plate tectonics and post-glacial rebound. In the last three decades, GPS has seen tremendous advances in the precision of the measurements, which all ...
Elsevier2017Miniature hyperspectral systems
Spectroscopy methods have been used for decades to obtain information about various materials, ranging from galaxies billions of light years from earth, to Petri dishes containing rich bacteria cultures. From spectrometers in chemical labs to spectral came ...
EPFL2017Assessing the usage and level-of-service of pedestrian facilities in train stations: A Swiss case study
Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Flurin Silvan Hänseler
A framework for assessing the usage and level-of-service of rail access facilities is presented. It consists of two parts. A dynamic demand estimator allows to obtain time-dependent pedestrian origin-destination demand within walking facilities. Using that ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2016An iterative particle filter approach for coupled hydro-geophysical inversion of a controlled infiltration experiment
Gabriele Manoli, Damiano Pasetto, Matteo Rossi
The modeling of unsaturated groundwater flow is affected by a high degree of uncertainty related to both measurement and model errors. Geophysical methods such as Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) can provide useful indirect information on the hydrol ...
