Numerical investigation of the effect of cohesion and ground friction on snow avalanches flow regimes
Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Betty Sovilla
With ongoing global warming, snow avalanche dynamics may change as snow cohesion and friction strongly depend on temperature. In the field, a diversity of avalanche flow regimes has been reported including fast, sheared flows and slow plugs. While the sign ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2022Climate change and energy performance of European residential building stocks-A comprehensive impact assessment using climate big data from the coordinated regional climate downscaling experiment
Kavan Javanroodi, Yuchen Yang, Vahid Moussavi Nik
In recent years, climate change and the corresponding expected extreme weather conditions have been widely recognized as potential problems. The building industry is taking various actions to achieve sustainable development, implement energy conservation s ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2021A comparison of hydrological models with different level of complexity in Alpine regions in the context of climate change
Michael Lehning, Adrien Michel, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Francesca Carletti
This study compares the ability of two degree-day models (Poli-Hydro and a degree-day implementation of Alpine3D) and one full energy-balance melt model (Alpine3D) to predict the discharge on two partly glacierized Alpine catchments of different size and i ...
2021Combatting climate change through a portfolio of approaches
Marie-Valentine Renée Agnès Florin
Given the urgency of deploying all possible ways to combat climate change, and in light of lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak that it was a mistake to ignore signals and not prepare for worst-case scenarios, this article suggests that tech ...
International Risk Governance Center (IRGC)2021People in the Global South need new messages about climate change
To communicate climate change to people living in India and other parts of the Global South, use local examples - like flooding - that relate to people’s lives and livelihoods. ...
News Trust2021The influence of climate on water chemistry states and dynamics in rivers across Australia
For effective water quality management and policy development, spatial variability in the mean concentrations and dynamics of riverine water quality needs to be understood. Using water chemistry (calcium, electrical conductivity, nitrate-nitrite, soluble r ...
WILEY2021Barriers to the implementation of international agreements on the ground: Climate change and resilience building in the Araucanía Region of Chile
Nicola Mary Banwell, Silvia Hostettler
Implementing disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation and mitigation (CCA/M), and sustainable development are key to increasing community resilience to pressing climate change risks. Barriers to grassroots implementation of national and int ...
2020Exploring the Robustness of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics Renovation Scenarios to Climate Change Perspectives: Results for a multi-family building in the Swiss context
Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Émilie Nault
Building renovation is one of the main strategies put forth in western countries, where energy regulations are becoming increasingly demanding. Switzerland for example has set the ambitious target aiming at carbon neutrality for 2050. Building-integrated p ...
2020Understanding climate change from a global analysis of city analogues
Combating climate change requires unified action across all sectors of society. However, this collective action is precluded by the ‘consensus gap’ between scientific knowledge and public opinion. Here, we test the extent to which the iconic cities around ...
2019Fifth generation district energy systems for low carbon cities
The focus and challenge for energy engineering in the context of rapid climate change is summarised by the Europe 20-20-20 targets, committing to a reduction in energy consumption of 20%. The most logical approach to achieve these goals is to target the mo ...
