Mapping drivers of tropical forest loss with satellite image time series and machine learning
Devis Tuia, Gaston Jean Lenczner, Jan Dirk Wegner, Jan Pisl, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Lloyd Haydn Hughes
The rates of tropical deforestation remain high, resulting in carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, and impacts on local communities. To design effective policies to tackle this, it is necessary to know what the drivers behind deforestation are. Since drive ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Influence of sun cups on surface albedo of wet Alpine snowpack
Michael Lehning, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Francesca Carletti
In high elevation Alpine areas, characterised by high snow accumulation and radiation-driven melt processes, the formation of peculiar ablation features called sun cups can be observed. Sun cups likely influence the energy and mass balance of the wet snowp ...
2024Hybrid Simulator for Capturing Dynamics of Synthetic Populations
Michel Bierlaire, Marija Kukic
This paper presents a novel hybrid framework for generating and updating a synthetic population. We call it hybrid because it combines model-based and data-driven approaches. Existing generators produce a snapshot of synthetic data that becomes outdated ov ...
IEEE2024Good enough: Intermediate complexity atmospheric models improve the representation of processes affecting seasonal snow
Snow plays a crucial role in processes regulating ecosystems, the climate, and human development. Mountain snowpack in particular has great relevance for downstream communities. Knowledge about the distribution and properties of the snowpack thus help in p ...
EPFL2024Design and Evaluation of Modular Gas and Wind Sensing Nodes for Static and Mobile Deployments
Alcherio Martinoli, Emmanuel Droz, Wanting Jin
Static and mobile sensor nodes can be employed in gas monitoring tasks to detect gas leaks in an early stage and localize gas sources. Due to the intermittent nature of gas plumes and the slow dynamics of commonly used gas sensors, measuring gas concentrat ...
2024Snowfall deposition in mountainous terrain: a statistical downscaling scheme from high-resolution model data on simulated topographies
One of the primary causes of non-uniform snowfall deposition on the ground in mountainous regions is the preferential deposition of snow, which results from the interaction of near-surface winds with topography and snow particles. However, producing high-r ...
Lausanne2024Relative plus constructions
Let h be a connective homology theory. We construct a functorial relative plus construction as a Bousfield localization functor in the category of maps of spaces. It allows us to associate to a pair (X,H), consisting of a connected space X and an hperfect ...
2023A Large-Scale Characterization of How Readers Browse Wikipedia
Robert West, Tiziano Piccardi, Akhil Arora
Despite the importance and pervasiveness of Wikipedia as one of the largest platforms for open knowledge, surprisingly little is known about how people navigate its content when seeking information. To bridge this gap, we present the first systematic large ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2023Evaluating the effect of sparse convolutions on point cloud compression
The use of point clouds as an imaging modality has been rapidly growing, motivating research on compression methods to enable efficient transmission and storage for many applications. While compression standards relying on conven- tional techniques such as ...
2023Convection of snow: when and why does it happen?
Convection of water vapor in snowpacks is supposed to have a major impact on snow density and microstructure profiles with strong implications for the thermal regime and snow stability. However, the process has never been directly measured and only recentl ...
