Understanding the relative role of hillslope processes and geomorphology in Alpine catchments

Hydrologic prediction in small Alpine catchments (up 50-200km2) plays a crucial role for water and flood man- agement in downstream areas. In this generally steep environments, understanding the relative role of hydrologic processes in the hillslopes and o ...

Morphological analysis of the upper reaches of the Kukuy Canyon derived from shallow bathymetry

Yosef Akhtman, Nicolas Le Dantec

We present preliminary results on the morphology of the upper reaches of the Kukuy Canyon and Selenga shelf in front of Proval Bay (Lake Baikal), derived from newly acquired, high-resolution bathymetry. Numerous and varied erosional and transport features ...

SEHR-ECHO v1.0: a Spatially Explicit Hydrologic Response model for ecohydrologic applications

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Bettina Schaefli, Ludovico Nicotina, Cédric Imfeld, Pierfrancesco Da Ronco

Abstract. This paper presents the Spatially Explicit Hydrologic Response (SEHR) model developed at the Laboratory of Ecohydrology of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne for the simulation of hydrological processes at the catchment scale. The key c ...

Investigating the Monthly Mean Stream Temperature Dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Bettina Schaefli, Aurélien Gallice

Affecting the habitat suitability of many fish species, water temperature is a hydrological factor of great concern in the actual context of climate change. Despite more than 40 years of research on this topic, the impact of landscape on the dynamics of st ...

New Cadanav methodology for quantitative rock fall hazard assessment and zoning at the local scale

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Rock fall hazard zoning is a challenging yet necessary task to be accomplished for planning an appropriate land use in mountainous areas. Methodologies currently adopted for elaborating zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results though, due to uncerta ...

Deployment of a dynamic penetrometer from manned submersibles for fine-scale geomorphology studies

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Nicolas Le Dantec

Dynamic penetrometers reveal information about seafloor strength, stratification, stability, and sediment remobilization. However, positioning is often limited to a range of meters making it difficult to target small-scale geomorphologic features. Deployme ...

Geomorphic signatures on brutsaert base flow recession analysis

Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Enrico Bertuzzo, Steven Vincent Weijs, Raphaël Mutzner, Serena Ceola, Ludovico Nicotina, Nevena Tomasic

This paper addresses the signatures of catchment geomorphology on base flow recession curves. Its relevance relates to the implied predictability of base flow features, which are central to catchment-scale transport processes and to ecohydrological functio ...

Influence of the convergence angle on the morphodynamics of discordant bed confluences

Anton Schleiss, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña, António Heleno Cardoso

Within the fluvial network, confluences are particular areas characterized by great ecological value where flow dynamics and bed morphology are much influenced by local patterns. The aim of this article is to describe the influence of the convergence angle ...
