Réseau de distribution de chaleur et de froid utilisant le CO2 comme fluide caloporteur

Luc Girardin, Jessen Page, Alberto Mian, Samuel Henchoz, Patrick Chatelan, Cédric Dorsaz

Anergy networks with water circulation are an efficient solution for the supply of urban heating services, but require a bulky and expensive infrastructure with higher energy consumption. Replacing water with CO2 enables a more compact solution with lower ...

Dynamic behavior of exposed geomembrane systems in pressure waterways

Giovanni De Cesare, Samuel Luke Vorlet, Roberto Proença Seixas

Geomembrane systems have been used in dams and reservoirs as rehabilitation technology since several decades and are now used worldwide. They act as impervious layer to prevent and mitigate water leakage and damage to structures. They meet the needs of man ...

The present and future of alpine streams: A microbial functionality perspective

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Tyler Joe Kohler, Jade Brandani

Alpine streams are among the most impacted freshwater ecosystems due to climate change. Depending on water origin, streams within alpine catchments are divided into glacier-fed, groundwater, and snowmelt streams. With the shrinking of glaciers due to clima ...

Recent patterns of discharge and sediment output of the Gorner Glacier, Switzerland

François Mettra

Recent climate change is causing rapid retreat of alpine glaciers around the globe. As ice melts and glaciers thin, glacier motion and subglacial processes will change. One of the most relevant aspects for down-valley environments, settlements and infrastr ...

Transport and mixing in Lac Léman

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus

Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) is the largest freshwater body in Western Europe. It is a deep peri-alpine lake whose importance stems from being not only an essential freshwater source in the region, but also a major tourist destination, a fishery and a waterway. ...
