Validation of Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 algorithms for atmospheric correction on Lake Geneva

Sonia Joëlle Dupuis

Remote-sensing of water surfaces such as large lakes is a useful tool for monitoring and understanding large-scale processes. Suspended particles in lakes can have various sources such as autochthonously produced organic matter, urban or agricultural runof ...

3D water quality modelling of a eutrophic lake

Christel Marie Tartini-Chappuis

In an environment subject to anthropogenic pressures, the understanding of lakes is crucial as they are essential for ecosystems and represent a source of the scarce accessible freshwater existing on Earth. Water quality management is especially designed t ...

Reliable estimates of predictive uncertainty for an Alpine catchment using a non-parametric methodology

Anton Schleiss, Bettina Schaefli, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

Uncertainty affects hydrological modelling efforts from the very measurements (or forecasts) that serve as inputs to the more or less inaccurate predictions that are produced. Uncertainty is truly inescapable in hydrology and yet, due to the theoretical an ...

Transport of gaseous pollutants by convective boundary layer around a human body

Dusan Licina

This study investigates the ability of the human convective boundary layer to transport pollution in a quiescent indoor environment. The impact of the source location in the vicinity of a human body is examined in relation to pollution distribution in the ...
