Toward a systematic integration of optical remote sensing for inland waters studies

Freshwater resources play a central role in social and economic development of modern civilisations, yet their value is often underestimated and neglected in developed countries. In fact, freshwater habitats are facing unprecedented threat because of human ...

Tributaries affect the thermal response of lakes to climate change

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard

Thermal responses of inland waters to climate change varies on global and regional scales. The extent of warming is determined by system-specific characteristics such as fluvial input. Here we examine the impact of ongoing climate change on two alpine trib ...

Continental-scale decrease in net primary productivity in streams due to climate warming

Janine Rüegg

Streams play a key role in the global carbon cycle. The balance between carbon intake through photosynthesis and carbon release via respiration influences carbon emissions from streams and depends on temperature. However, the lack of a comprehensive analys ...

Streamwater pCO2in an Alpine Headwater Catchment

Tom Ian Battin, Amber Joy Ulseth, Asa Lovisa Viktoria Horgby, Marta Boix Canadell

Boreal and alpine streams are highly sensitive to climate change. Previous studies have shown the relevance of streams for carbon cycling in boreal landscapes. Less work has been done on alpine streams, and we do not understand the contributions from these ...

Integrating Information Sources for Inland Waters - A New Global Framework for Lakes Modelling and Monitoring

Theo Baracchini

Like islands, lakes are not only unique geographical features, but also ecological concepts on their own. Their exceptional variability has been studied numerous times, yet no unique framework capable of reproducing the wide range of lake dynamics observed ...

Microbial metabolism mediates interactions between dissolved organic matter and clay minerals in streamwater

Tom Ian Battin

Sorption of organic molecules to mineral surfaces is an important control upon the aquatic carbon (C) cycle. Organo-mineral interactions are known to regulate the transport and burial of C within inland waters, yet the mechanisms that underlie these proces ...

Wave-reducing Stern Flap on Ship Convoys to Protect Riverbanks

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Pfister, Robin Amacher, Théodora Cohen Liechti

Inland navigable waterways are significant in cargo transport and leisure activities. In parallel, these channels and rivers often suffer from the ship traffic, as the generated waves may damage waterway banks, along with their riparian fauna. As a consequ ...

Scales and drivers of temporal

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter

The role of inland waters for the global carbon cycle is now recognized and evidence increasingly suggests that stream ecosystems disproportionately contribute to the carbon cycle. Understanding the dynamics and drivers of stream water partial pressure of ...

Reduction of bend scour with an air-bubble screen - morphology and flow patterns

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Violaine Dugué

The interplay between streamwise flow, curvature-induced secondary flow, sediment transport and bed morphology leads to the formation of a typical bar-pool bed morphology in open-channel bends. The associated scour at the outer bank and deposition at the i ...

Influencing river morphodynamics by means of a bubble screen - application to open-channel bends

Violaine Dugué

Curved reaches and bends are a characteristic feature of rivers and channels. Their morphology is heterogeneous and typically includes a point bar at the inner side of bends, and bend scour at the outer side. Curvature-induced secondary flow, also called s ...
