Lotic-SIPCO2: Adaptation of an open-source CO2 sensor system and examination of associated emission uncertainties across a range of stream sizes and land uses
River networks play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, as relevant sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. Advancements in high-frequency monitoring in aquatic environments have enabled measurement of dissolved CO2 concentration at tempo ...
Hoboken2024Towards a metabolic theory of catchments: scaling of water and carbon fluxes with size
Sara Bonetti, Francesca Bassani
Allometric scaling relations are widely used to link biological processes in nature. They are typically expressed as power laws, postulating that the metabolic rate of an organism scales as its mass to the power of an allometric exponent, which ranges betw ...
2024Enhancing Flood Resilience: Sediment Management in Le Bez Torrent
Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Romain Nathan Hippolyte Merlin Van Mol
In the canton of Bern, Switzerland, the “Le Bez” torrent is known for its flash floods, causing sediment and wood debris buildup in Villeret village settled on the alluvial fan. To mitigate this issue, a sediment/wood trap system is being implemented upstr ...
Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT)2023Diurnal and seasonal patterns of global urban dry islands
Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a widely studied phenomenon, while research on urban-rural differences in humidity, the so called urban dry or moisture islands (UDIs, UMIs), is less common and a large-scale quantification of the seasonal and diurnal patterns ...
2022Design of sediment detention basins: Scaled model experiments and application
Anton Schleiss, Sebastian Schwindt, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi, Anita Hélène Roth
Sediment detention basins are implemented on mountain rivers to trap solid material that may aggravate the flooding of downstream settlements. However, retention structures built in the past may unnecessarily retain sediment during non-hazardous flood even ...
2020Generation and application of river network analogues for use in ecology and evolution
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro, Reinhard Furrer, Florian Altermatt
Several key processes in freshwater ecology are governed by the connectivity inherent to dendritic river networks. These have extensively been analyzed from a geomorphological and hydrological viewpoint, yet structures classically used in ecological modeli ...
