Numerical simulation of the fate, transport and public health risks of enteric viruses in Lake Geneva
Lakes are a fundamental feature of nature with brilliance, profoundness and complexity. Various of physical, chemical and biological changes take place three dimensionally in deep lakes, regulated by complicated boundary conditions. To understand and predi ...
EPFL2023Sunshine and a pinch of tropical soils: A natural, low-cost photo-Fenton variation for safer water, assisted by H2O2 or percabonate
César Pulgarin, Michaël Bensimon, Stefanos Giannakis, Thomas Guillaume, Jérémie Decker
Clean water is essential for human survival, but access to safe drinking water remains a challenge in resource -limited regions. Herein, we explored a low-cost but effective solution for water potabilization using natural iron sources from soils along with ...
ELSEVIER2023Detecting submesoscale cold filaments in a basin-scale gyre in large, deep Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France)
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari, Amir Mehdi Razmi
Submesoscale filaments are a well-documented feature of oceanic flow fields. Based on the analysis of high-resolution 3D numerical simulations, field observations and remote sensing imagery, this study, carried out in Lake Geneva, Western Europe's largest ...
2022Solar water purification with photocatalytic nanocomposite filter based on TiO2 nanowires and carbon nanotubes
László Forró, Luca Rossi, Endre Horvath, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Dominique Grandjean, Miriam Gaál
Water contamination due to environmental conditions and poor waste management in certain areas of the world represents a serious problem in accessing clean and safe drinking water. This problem is especially critical in electricity-poor regions, where adva ...
2022Monitoring Mesoscale to Submesoscale Processes in Large Lakes with Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery: The Case of Lake Geneva
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari, Mehrshad Foroughan
As in oceans, large-scale coherent circulations such as gyres and eddies are ubiquitous features in large lakes that are subject to the Coriolis force. They play a crucial role in the horizontal and vertical distribution of biological, chemical and physica ...
2022LeXPLORE: A floating laboratory on Lake Geneva offering unique lake research opportunities
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Sébastien Lavanchy
Environmental sciences depend heavily on observational data. Successful studies of ecological processes in lakes require in-situ data that cover the relevant temporal scales from milliseconds to entire seasons. Temporal and spatial coverage requirements re ...
2021Participatory research to monitor lake water pollution
Luc Patiny, Carlos Vivar Rios, Rachel Aronoff
A participatory research team, concerned about water quality around Lake Geneva, particularly in the Montreux Bay region where some were lifeguards, ran sampling campaigns to determine summertime levels of lake water pollution. The participants were brough ...
WILEY2021Gravity-driven membrane filtration for drinking water treatment in schools in Uganda
Saline groundwater by the shore of Lake Victoria in Eastern Uganda is unsuitable for human consumption, making the contaminated lake water the only possible source for drinking water. In such context, five water kiosks were constructed in 2015 and 2018 to ...
2020Adapting the dynamic LakeMab model to simulate seasonal variations of phosphorus concentration in reservoirs: a case study of Lake Bultiere (France)
Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Qian Zhang
Controlling phosphorus is fundamental to limit the risk of eutrophication of continental aquatic ecosystems. Integrated modelling of its concentration in the aquatic continuum requires specific tools for water bodies. However, although simple static empiri ...
2020Tracking Lagrangian transport in Lake Geneva: A 3D numerical modeling investigation
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus
Lake Geneva, the largest freshwater lake in Western Europe, is subject to important environmental pressures from its densely populated shores and watershed. To maintain and improve water quality in this lake, as well as in other enclosed or semi‐enclosed b ...
