Sediment connectivity in Alpine basins: from isolated storms to turbidity currents in deep peri-Alpine lakes (examples from the Rhône basin and Lake Geneva, Switzerland)
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Koen Blanckaert, François Mettra
In the main river canyon of a deep peri-Alpine lake (Rhône River canyon in Lake Geneva, Switzerland), occasional turbidity currents have been observed and monitored using acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP) during summer. It has been hypothesized tha ...
2020Sediment connectivity in the Rhône basin: From an isolated thunderstorm at Illgraben to a tubidity current in deep Lake Geneva
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Koen Blanckaert, François Mettra
In the Rhône canyon of Lake Geneva (Figure 1), turbidity currents are occasionally present in summer. Based on velocity measurements in the canyon and discharge measurements at Porte du Scex in the Rhône 6 km upstream of Lake Geneva (Figure 1), Lambert and ...
2019Tracking 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 ...
2019Application of an Ensemble Kalman filter to a semi-distributed hydrological flood forecasting system in alpine catchments
Giovanni De Cesare, Javier García Hernández, Alain Tommy Foehn, Anne Schwob
One of the key success factor for hydrological forecasts is the establishment of initial conditions that represent well the conditions of the simulated basin at the beginning of the forecast. Real-time Data Assimilation (DA) has been shown to allow improvi ...
2019NTIRE 2018 Challenge on Spectral Reconstruction from RGB Images
Bing Zhang, Lei Zhang, Majed El Helou, Dong Liu, Ruofan Zhou, Fayez Lahoud, Marjan Shahpaski, Radu Timofte, Chang Chen, Soumik Sarkar, Himanshu Sharma, Yigit Baran Can
This paper reviews the first challenge on spectral image reconstruction from RGB images, i.e., the recovery of whole-scene hyperspectral (HS) information from a 3channel RGB image. The challenge was divided into 2 tracks: the "Clean" track sought HS recove ...

2018Field characterization of the negatively buoyant inflow of the Rhône River into Lake Geneva
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Koen Blanckaert
Turbidity currents emanating from the Rhône River into Lake Geneva were first inferred by François-Alphonse Forel in the nineteenth century. This site remains attractive for several reasons. (1) Permanent measuring stations on the Rhône and Lake Geneva pro ...
2018Transport and mixing in Lac Léman
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus
Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) is the largest freshwater body in Western Europe. It is a deep peri-alpine lake whose importance stems from being not only an essential freshwater source in the region, but also a major tourist destination, a fishery and a waterway. ...
2016El sistema operacional MINERVE para la previsión de crecidas en el Cantón de Valais, Suiza
Javier García Hernández, Alain Tommy Foehn
In recent decades, the watershed of the Rhône River, upstream of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, has suffered three major floods that have caused damages for over 500 million dollars. This led to the third correction of the Rhône River, which aims to improve f ...
2016Into the abyss of Lake Geneva: the elemo interdisciplinary field investigation using the MIR submersibles
Alfred Johny Wüest, Ulrich Lemmin, Jeremy Samuel Arey
In summer 2011, the two Russian MIR submersibles were brought to Switzerland to perform deep water dives in Lake Geneva. Research teams from several environmental science institutes, both national and international, participated in this interdisciplinary e ...
