The influence of water-saturation on the strength of volcanic rocks and the stability of lava domes

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Michael Heap

The rocks forming a volcanic edifice or dome are typically saturated or partially-saturated with water. However, most experiments aimed at better understanding the mechanical behaviour of volcanic rocks have been performed on dry samples, and therefore mos ...

Atmospheric water harvesting in semi-arid regions by membranes: A techno-economic assessment

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Marina Micari, Xuekui Duan

The availability of a reliable and sufficient amount of water constitutes one of the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. The provision of water is still challenging in many regions of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid regions ...

Monitoring changes in temporary stream networks during rainfall events

Andrea Rinaldo, Izabela Bujak-Ozga, Jana Freiin von Freyberg, Ilja van Meerveld

Stream networks are important flow pathways along which water transports solutes, sediments and affects living communities. Field observations in headwater catchments have shown that the networks of actively flowing channels are not static, but rather expa ...

Precipitation fate and transport in a Mediterranean catchment through models calibrated on plant and stream water isotope data

Paolo Benettin

To predict hydrologic responses to inputs and perturbations, it is important to understand how precipitation is stored in catchments, released back to the atmosphere via evapotranspiration (ET), or transported to aquifers and streams. We investigated this ...

A new method for river bank detection from Landsat satellite data in the context of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta

This study proposes a new river bank (RB) detection methodology for Landsat satellite data in the context of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). Additionally, an algorithm for the calculation of the surface change between dierent data sets is presented. The ...

Prediction and experimental evaluation of soil-water retention behavior of skeletal calcareous soils

Lyesse Laloui, Saeed Kouzegaran

Skeletal calcareous soils refer to soils consisting of skeletal remains of marine organisms. Although calcareous deposits are prevalent along coastal plains throughout the world, there is no study which investigates their behavior in unsaturated conditions ...

Introducing flexibility in alpine small hydropower plants using smart storage

Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Jessica Zordan, Steve Crettenand

Small hydropower plants can improve their proficiency if they are able to become more flexible on power production, answering the need of peak energy demand, following the needs of the energy market and providing ancillary services in the electricity suppl ...

The Demographics of Water: A Review of Water Ages in the Critical Zone

Paolo Benettin

The time that water takes to travel through the terrestrial hydrological cycle and the critical zone is of great interest in Earth system sciences with broad implications for water quality and quantity. Most water age studies to date have focused on indivi ...

Effect of pore pressure on earthquake dynamic rupture: insights from stick slip experiments on granite.

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Mateo Alejandro Acosta

The objective is to examine the influence of pore water on dynamic rupture processes in the context of deep geothermal reservoirs. We conducted stick slip experiments on thermally-treated, saw-cut westerly granite samples under triaxial . The samples were ...

Assessing the potential increase of seasonal energy storage to mitigate the impact of climate change in Switzerland: Case study of the Grande Dixence dam

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Blaise Monay

The total storage capacity of the reservoirs in Switzerland represents only 42% of their annual production of electricity, but secures approximately 100% of hydropower’s contribution to the winter electricity supply. In order to avoid spilling, the storage ...
