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 ...
2016Shaping public sector innovation theory: an interpretative framework for ICT-enabled governance innovation
Gianluigi Viscusi, Gianluca Carlo Misuraca
The paper discusses from a conceptual standpoint the need for renewing the lenses through which looking at the phenomenon of ICT-enabled innovation in governance and policy-making, suggesting that a possible ‘new theory of public sector innovation ́ should ...
Springer Verlag2015The relative importance of methane sources and sinks over the Last Interglacial period and into the last glaciation
The largest natural increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration as recorded in ice cores occur when the Earth climate abruptly shifts from a glacial to an interglacial state. Open questions remain regarding the processes at play, the sequences of events and ...
Elsevier BV2015Short-term solutions
Arctic temperatures are increasing because of long- and short-lived climate forcers, with reduction of the short-lived species potentially offering some quick mitigation. Now a regional assessment reveals the emission locations of these short-lived species ...
2015The EPFL Campus in Lausanne: New Energy Strategies for 2050
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Silvia Coccolo
The increase of the urban population and the climate change are issues that scientists and stakeholders are facing nowadays; in this optic a sustainable design should address buildings, and all the physical phenomena that interact with them, from the urban ...
Elsevier2015Technologies for Development. What is Essential?
Jean-Claude Bolay, Eileen Hazboun, Silvia Hostettler
Technological innovation is vital for finding solutions to key challenges the world is facing. Climate change, pollution, disease, rising inequalities, and chronic poverty all need to be addressed. We need renewable energy sources, efficient transport netw ...
Springer2015Greenland precipitation trends in a long-term instrumental climate context (1890-2012): evaluation of coastal and ice core records
Here, we present an analysis of monthly, seasonal, and annual long-term precipitation time-series compiled from coastal meteorological stations in Greenland and Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) ice cores (including three new ice core records from ACT11D, Tunu201 ...
Wiley-Blackwell2015Atmospheric and oceanic climate forcing of the exceptional Greenland ice sheet surface melt in summer 2012
The NASA announcement of record surface melting of the Greenland ice sheet in July 2012 led us to examine the atmospheric and oceanic climatic anomalies that are likely to have contributed to these exceptional conditions and also to ask the question of how ...
Wiley-Blackwell2014The response of atmospheric nitrous oxide to climate variations during the last glacial period
Two deep ice cores from central Greenland, drilled in the 1990s, have played a key role in climate reconstructions of the Northern Hemisphere, but the oldest sections of the cores were disturbed in chronology owing to ice folding near the bedrock. Here we ...
Springer Science and Business Media LLC2013Recent warming in Greenland in a long-term instrumental (1881-2012) climatic context: I. Evaluation of surface air temperature records
We present an updated analysis of monthly means of daily mean, minimum and maximum surface air temperature (SAT) data from Greenland coastal weather stations and from a long-running site on the Greenland ice sheet, and analyse these data for evidence of cl ...
