Integrating Information Sources for Inland Waters - A New Global Framework for Lakes Modelling and Monitoring

Like islands, lakes are not only unique geographical features, but also ecological concepts on their own. Their exceptional variability has been studied numerous times, yet no unique framework capable of reproducing the wide range of lake dynamics observed ...

NanoSIMS isotopic imaging - Deciphering the nature of coral-symbiont metabolic interactions

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Christophe Kopp, Thomas Krüger, Maoz Fine

The ability of endosymbiotic Symbiodinium to fix inorganic nutrients and their translocation to the coral host is considered a key element for the growth of coral reefs in tropical coastal waters and has been a fundamental research topic for over 50 years. ...

Integrated flood forecasting and management system in a complex catchment area in the Alps—implementation of the MINERVE project in the Canton of Valais

Javier García Hernández, Bastien Roquier

A complex hydrologic-hydraulic model has been developed for the Upper Rhone River basin in Switzerland. It is currently operational in the Canton of Valais for real-time flood forecasting and management, providing automatic warnings to the crisis cell of t ...

Wind variability and sheltering effects on measurements and modeling of air-water exchange for a small lake

Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort

Lakes with a surface area of less than 10 km^2 account for over 50% of the global cumulative lake surface water area, and make up more than 99% of the total number of global lakes, ponds, and wetlands. Within the boreal regions as well as some temperate an ...

Flood management in a complex river basin with a real-time decision support system based on hydrological forecasts

Javier García Hernández

In alpine valleys with strong urban development, river training works for flood safety become more and more difficult to implement because of economic and environmental constraints. Thus flood management has a great importance especially in river basins eq ...

Flood Management in a Complex River Basin with a Real-Time Decision Support System Based on Hydrological Forecasts

Javier García Hernández

During the last decades, the Upper Rhone River basin has been hit by several flood events causing significant damages in excess of 500 million Swiss Francs. From this situation, the 3rd Rhône river training project was planned in order to improve the flood ...

Considering weather in simulating traffic

André-Gilles Dumont, Ashish Bhaskar, Minh Hai Pham, Sofia Samoili

The impact of weather on traffic and its behavior is not well studied in literature primarily due to lack of integrated traffic and weather data. Weather can significant effect the traffic and traffic management measures developed for fine weather might no ...

Experimental Investigations of the Aerodynamics of an Annular Compressor Cascade at Reversed Flow Conditions

Peter Ott, Virginie Anne Chenaux

Compressor unsafe operating regimes yield unsteady high speed turbulent flows in which complex aeroelastic phenomena occur. If the blade flutter and forced response behavior (i.e. aeroelastic stability) can be predicted reliably for normal flow conditions, ...

Signature-based model calibration for hydrologic prediction in mesoscale Alpine catchments

Bettina Schaefli, Abdelkader Mezghani

This paper presents a calibration framework for a precipitation-runoff model for flood prediction in a mesoscale Alpine basin with strongly anthropogenic discharges. The developed methodology addresses two classical hydrological calibration challenges: com ...

Flood forecast uncertainty and alert decision. application to the alpine Rhone river catchment / Incertitude des prévisions de crue et décision d’alerte. Application au bassin du Rhône Alpin

Javier García Hernández

The main goal of the 3rd Rhône Correction project in Switzerland is to improve the flood protection in the Upper Rhone River basin. In this framework, the MINERVE project contributes to the flow control during flood events by preventive turbine and bottom ...
