Contribution of standardized indexes to understand groundwater level fluctuations in response to meteorological conditions in cold and humid climates

Understanding the fluctuations in groundwater levels in response to meteorological conditions is challenging, especially given the slow transit time associated with groundwater reservoirs and the short duration of time series for groundwater levels. Nevert ...

River ecosystem metabolism and carbon biogeochemistry in a changing world

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luis Gómez Gener

River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle remains limited, which makes it difficult to predict how global change may al ...

Building Strongly-Consistent Systems Resilient to Failures, Partitions, and Slowdowns

Cristina Basescu

Distributed systems designers typically strive to improve performance and preserve availability despite failures or attacks; but, when strong consistency is also needed, they encounter fundamental limitations. The bottleneck is in replica coordination, whi ...

A case-study evaluating river rehabilitation alternatives and habitat heterogeneity using the hydromorphological index of diversity

Anton Schleiss, Walter Gostner

Concurrent rehabilitation alternatives were evaluated for a 1900 m reach of the River Etsch in northern Italy using a recently developed Hydro Morphological Index of Diversity (HMID) model. HMID is a new tool enabling quantitative assessments of river rest ...

Concerns of young protesters are justified

Philippe Thalmann, Dominique Bourg

In this letter, we recall that young people's concerns about climate change are based on our best scientific knowledge and that the measures taken so far by our authorities to protect the climate and the biosphere are far from up to the threat. We therefor ...

Earthworms as ecosystem engineers : a review

Claire Guenat, Pascal Turberg, Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Géraldine Michèle Bullinger, Renée-Claire Le Bayon, Andreas Cedric Schomburg

The concept of ecosystem engineering has emerged decades ago and highlights the direct or indirect modulation of available resources by organisms through their biological activities. Ecosystem engineers create biogenic structures (aggregates, burrows) that ...

Streamwater pCO2in an Alpine Headwater Catchment

Tom Ian Battin, Amber Joy Ulseth, Asa Lovisa Viktoria Horgby, Marta Boix Canadell

Boreal and alpine streams are highly sensitive to climate change. Previous studies have shown the relevance of streams for carbon cycling in boreal landscapes. Less work has been done on alpine streams, and we do not understand the contributions from these ...
