The presence of a snow cover has a strong impact on hydrological processes. In this thesis, the role of the snow cover as an interface between the atmosphere and the soil is assessed. An implementation of a solver for Richards Equation (RE) for water flow ...
Info4Dourou2.0 is a research project aiming at improving agricultural yield and water consumption in drip irrigated areas in semi-arid regions by using continuous soil humidity measurements. Within this framework, the main goal of this thesis was to invest ...
A mechanistic model for the soil-plant system is coupled to a conventional slab representation of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) to explore the role of groundwater table (WT) variations and free atmospheric (FA) states on convective rainfall predispo ...
Stream temperature controls important aspects of the riverine habitat, such as the rate of spawning or death of many fish species, or the concentration of numerous dissolved substances. In the current context of accelerating climate change, the future evol ...
Recent large-scale changes in snow cover over Western North America associated with climate warming may have widespread impacts on water availability. These changes have potentially varied impacts on water availability as snowmelt influences, soil moisture ...
Understanding of hydrological processes, including consideration of interactions between vegetation growth and water transfer in the root zone, underpins efficient use of water resources in arid-zone agriculture. Water transfers take place in the soil-plan ...
The research project Info4Dourou 2.0 's main goal is to improve agriculture in semi-arid regions by developing a support system that optimizes agricultural production and water consumption based on continuous soil humidity measurements using a sensor netwo ...
Alpine hydrology is particularly challenging due to the complexity of mountainous terrain and the spatial and temporal variability of meteorological parameters such as precipitation, temperature and evaporation. Yet improving our understanding of hydrologi ...
This thesis deal with experimental, field and modeling studies on reactive solute transport within hydrologic control volumes. The substances used in open environments for plant protection and other purposes are likely to be flushed by rainfall and enter i ...
Spring snowmelt is a critical resource in mountainous and alpine regions. Accurate representation of snowmelt processes in hydrological models is thus necessary for water managing purposes, flood prediction and resource allocation, among others. This task, ...
