The Legacy Effects of Winter Climate on Microbial Functioning After Snowmelt in a Subarctic Tundra

Warming-induced increases in microbial CO2 release in northern tundra may positively feedback to climate change. However, shifts in microbial extracellular enzyme activities (EEAs) may alter the impacts of warming over the longer term. We investigated the ...

Implications of observation-enhanced energy-balance snowmelt simulations for runoff modeling of Alpine catchments

Tobias Jonas

Snow is an important component of the water balance of many mountain watersheds worldwide. In a warming climate, snowmelt modeling and consequent soil water input, is often challenged by complex conditions such as rain-on-snow situations. This is why detai ...

Where does the river end? Drivers of spatiotemporal variability in CO2 concentration and flux in the inflow area of a large boreal lake

Hannah Elisa Chmiel

River inflow affects the spatiotemporal variability of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the water column of lakes and may locally influence CO2 gas exchange with the atmosphere. However, spatiotemporal CO2 variability at river inflow sites is often unknown leaving ...

Multidecadal sediment balance modelling of a cascade of alpine reservoirs and perspectives based on climate warming

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

This paper presents a comprehensive methodology to model and determine the annual sediment balance of a complex system of interconnected reservoirs, based on the detailed interpretation of a multi-decadal data series of reservoir management and modelling o ...

Alpine hydropower production and glacier retreat: the case of Switzerland

Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Bettina Schaefli

Hydropower production (HP) in high mountainous areas relies on snow- and glacier melt influenced water resources and is thus highly sensitive to climate warming. Based on the case of Switzerland that produces over 50% of its electricity from hydropower, we ...

The role of glacier retreat for Swiss hydropower production

Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Bettina Schaefli

High elevation or high latitude hydropower production (HP) strongly relies on water resources that are influenced by glacier melt and are thus highly sensitive to climate warming. Despite of the wide-spread glacier retreat since the development of HP infra ...

Investigating the importance of future climate typology on estimating the energy performance of buildings in the EPFL campus

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Silvia Coccolo, Vahid Moussavi Nik

Climate changes induce warmer climate with stronger and more frequent extreme events. Due to the uncertain nature of climate, accurate simulation of future conditions is impossible and a major challenge is the selection of climate data in the impact assess ...

Physical effects of thermal pollution in lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard

Anthropogenic heat emissions into inland waters influence water temperature and affect stratification, heat and nutrient fluxes, deep water renewal, and biota. Given the increased thermal stress on these systems by growing cooling demands of riparian/coast ...

Distinct guidelines have been proposed in Romania and Switzerland for the management of pasture woodlands that either focused on the regulation of grazing pressure (Romanian production perspective) or overall tree cover (Swiss conservation perspective). Ho ...

Human-assisted, trans-generational exposure to ocean warming and acidification has been proposed as a conservation and/or restoration tool to produce resilient offspring. To improve our understanding of the need for and the efficacy of this approach, we ch ...
