Microphysical explanation of the RH-dependent water affinity of biogenic organic aerosol and its importance for climate
A large fraction of atmospheric organic aerosol (OA) originates from natural emissions that are oxidized in the atmosphere to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Isoprene (IP) and monoterpenes (MT) are the most important precursors of SOA originating fro ...
Blackwell Publishing Ltd2017Investigating 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 ...
Elsevier2017Alpine glacier-fed turbid lakes are discontinuous cold polymictic rather than dimictic
Glacier retreat as a consequence of climate change influences freshwater ecosystems in manifold ways, yet the physical and chemical bases of these effects are poorly studied. Here, we characterize how water temperature differs between alpine lakes with and ...
Freshwater Biological Assoc2017The climate impacts of feebate on cars in future scenarios
The ongoing EU FP7 project DYNAMIX aims to develop and assess dynamic policy mixes that achieve absolute decoupling between resource use and well-being. One of the policy instruments we assess is a feebate scheme for selected product categories. This instr ...
A World Resources Forum Production, PSI2017Sustainable policy—key considerations for air quality and climate change
Air quality and climate change are inexorably linked from theiremission sources to their impacts on climate, human health, andecosystems, including agriculture. However, in globalenvironmental change and sustainability policies the linkbetween air quality ...
2016Effects of climate change on deep-water oxygen and winter mixing in a deep lake (Lake Geneva)
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel
Oxygen is the most important dissolved gas for lake ecosystems. Because low oxygen concentrations are an ongoing problem in many parts of the oceans and numerous lakes, oxygen depletion processes have been intensively studied over the last decades and were ...
2016Effects of climate change on deepwater oxygen and winter mixing in a deep lake (Lake Geneva): Comparing observational findings and modeling
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel, Adrien Gaudard
Low concentrations of dissolved oxygen remain a global concern regarding the ecological health of lakes and reservoirs. In addition to high nutrient loads, climate-induced changes in lake stratification and mixing represent additional anthropogenic menace ...
American Geophysical Union2016Analyzing Large-Scale Public Campaigns on Twitter
Karl Aberer, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux, Julia Proskurnia, Roman Prokofyev
Social media has become an important instrument for running various types of public campaigns and mobilizing people. Yet, the dynamics of public campaigns on social networking platforms still remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we present an in-depth ...
Springer Int Publishing Ag2016Mimicking biochar-albedo feedback in complex Mediterranean agricultural landscapes
ncorporation of charcoal produced by biomass pyrolysis (biochar) in agricultural soils is a potentially sustainable strategy for climate change mitigation. However, some side effects of large-scale biochar application need to be investigated. In particular ...
Institute of Physics2015Investigating the Monthly Mean Stream Temperature Dynamics
Andrea Rinaldo, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Bettina Schaefli, Aurélien Gallice
Affecting the habitat suitability of many fish species, water temperature is a hydrological factor of great concern in the actual context of climate change. Despite more than 40 years of research on this topic, the impact of landscape on the dynamics of st ...
