Climatic and Ecological Impact of Greenlandic Glacial Outwash Plains

Devis Tuia, Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Ianina Altshuler, Gaston Jean Lenczner, Grace Emma Marsh

Warming in the Arctic is occurring at an accelerated rate compared to the rest of the world which is partially driven by ecological and climatic feedback loops. Accelerated glacial and ice sheet retreat in Greenland drives increased development of glacial ...

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. ...

Glacial meltwater drains into proglacial rivers where it interacts with the surrounding landscape, collecting microbial cells as it travels downstream. Characterizing the composition of the resulting microbial assemblages in transport can inform us about i ...

Microbial community assembly in streams draining proglacial floodplains

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Tyler Joe Kohler, Jade Brandani, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Paraskevi Pramateftaki

As glaciers shrink, new terrain is exposed and drained by proglacial streams along both longitudinal and lateral chronosequences which are fed by various water sources (glacier melt, snowmelt, and groundwater). While benthic microbial biofilms often initia ...

Characterizing Swiss Alpine Lakes: from Wikipedia to Citizen Science

Yuanhui Lin

In Switzerland, there are more than 1500 lakes located above 2000 meters of altitude. In order to understand the ecological impacts of climate change on bacteria communities in these high mountain lakes, researchers in project 2000Lakes analyze their chemi ...

Evolution of stream and lake water temperature under climate change

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Adrien Michel, Bettina Schaefli, Carl Love Mikael Råman Vinnå, Martin Schmid

This report presents past observations and projects the future development of water temperature in Swiss lakes and rivers. Projections are made until the end of the 21st century using the CH2018 climate scenarios. Besides climate change effects on temperat ...

Alongside his postdoc research at EPFL, Arindam Roy works hard to communicate about climate change in his native language of Bengali. The workshops he runs don’t focus on polar bears on ice caps, but rather on concrete solutions to the very real problems f ...
