Oxygen consumption in seasonally stratified lakes decreases only below a marginal phosphorus threshold
Alfred Johny Wüest, Robert Vincent Schwefel
Areal oxygen (O-2) consumption in deeper layers of stratified lakes and reservoirs depends on the amount of settling organic matter. As phosphorus (P) limits primary production in most lakes, protective and remediation efforts often seek to reduce P input. ...
Springer2019When dynamic cracks meet disorder: A journey along the fracture process zone
The onset of earthquakes along crustal faults, the triggering of slab avalanches or the break of a wine glass are all serious problems driven by the propagation of a dynamic rupture front. Our physical understanding of this ubiquitous phenomenon is however ...
EPFL2018The importance of mantle wedge heterogeneity to subduction zone magmatism and the origin of EM1
The composition of the convecting asthenospheric mantle that feeds the mantle wedge can be investigated via rear-arc lavas that have minimal slab influence. This "ambient mantle wedge" composition (the composition of the wedge prior to the addition of a sl ...
Elsevier2017Particle dynamics in high-Alpine proglacial reservoirs modified by pumped-storage operation
Temperature and suspended particle distribution were surveyed and modeled in two high-Alpine reservoirs in Switzerland, connected by pumped-storage operations for similar to 30 years. Due to different glacier coverage of the catchments, the two reservoirs ...
Amer Geophysical Union2011The Hadean upper mantle conundrum: Evidence for source depletion and enrichment from Sm-Nd, Re-Os, and Ph isotopic compositions in 3.71 Gy boninite-like metabasalts from the Isua Supracrustal Belt, Greenland
Here we present Sm-Nd, Re-Os, and Pb isotopic data of carefully screened, least altered samples of boninite-like metabasalts from the Isua Supracrustal Belt (ISB, W Greenland)that characterize their mantle source at the time of their formation. The princip ...
2004Sediment distribution on a current-dominated lake delta (Versoix delta, Lake Geneva, Switzerland)
Lake delta morphology is determined by fluvial input, waves, lake currents, lake-level fluctuations and lake-basin topography. The current-dominated Versoix delta (Petit-Lac of Lake Geneva, Switzerland), has been studied in order to determine the role of w ...
