The microbial genomics of glacier-fed streams: adaptations to an extreme ecosystem

Glacier-fed streams are the cold, ultra-oligotrophic, and unstable streams that are fed by glacial meltwater. Despite these extreme conditions, they harbour a diverse and abundant microbial diversity that develops into biofilms, covering the boulders and s ...

Adverse and mitigating impacts of warming on tree carbon cycling

Charlotte Grossiord

Recent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Heat and VPD has been identified as an increasingly important driver of plant functioning in terrestrial biomes ...

Future water temperature of rivers in Switzerland under climate change investigated with physics-based models

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Adrien Michel, Bettina Schaefli, Nander Wever

River ecosystems are highly sensitive to cli-mate change and projected future increase in air tempera-ture is expected to increase the stress for these ecosystems. Rivers are also an important socio-economic factor impact- ing, amongst others, agriculture, ...

Past and future impacts of climate change on swiss river temperature and discharge investigated with data analysis and numerical modelling

Adrien Michel

This thesis presents the first large-scale assessment of past, present and future impacts of climate change on river temperatures in Switzerland. Water temperature is a crucial factor influencing, among others, the health of aquatic ecosystems, the industr ...

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 ...

Warming of lowland Polish lakes under future climate change scenarios and consequences for ice cover and mixing dynamics

Sebastiano Piccolroaz

Study region: The study region comprises 25 lowland Polish lakes in the northern part of the country. The studied lakes provide domestic, industrial and agricultural water supply, and are major attractions for tourism, thus playing a significant role in th ...

Assessing the responses of Sphagnum micro-eukaryotes to climate changes using high throughput sequencing

Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Enrique Lara

Current projections suggest that climate warming will be accompanied by more frequent and severe drought events. Peatlands store ca. one third of the world's soil organic carbon. Warming and drought may cause peatlands to become carbon sources through stim ...

Characterization of bacterial communities in Lake Geneva by comparing genetic and physiological methods

Coralie Chappelier

Over the last century, the level of atmospheric CO2 has increased to the highest concentrations on Earth within the past 800'000 years. Current predictions anticipate that the effects of greenhouse gases will lead to a rise in air temperature ranging betwe ...

Climate change now detectable from any single day of weather at global scale

For generations, climate scientists have educated the public that 'weather is not climate', and climate change has been framed as the change in the distribution of weather that slowly emerges from large variability over decades(1-7). However, weather when ...

Key rules of life and the fading cryosphere: impacts in alpine lakes and streams

Tom Ian Battin, Chenxi Wu, Jun Wen, Xiong Xiong

Alpine regions are changing rapidly due to loss of snow and ice in response to ongoing climate change. While studies have documented ecological responses in alpine lakes and streams to these changes, our ability to predict such outcomes is limited. We prop ...
