Stochastic modeling of soil salinity

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan

A minimalist stochastic model of primary soil salinity is proposed, in which the rate of soil salinization is determined by the balance between dry and wet salt deposition and the intermittent leaching events caused by rainfall events. The long term probab ...

Structural, optical, and electrical properties of silicon nanowires for solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Johann Michler, Stefaan De Wolf

We investigated Si nanowires (SiNWs) fabricated by wet etching and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and core-shell structures, formed by depositing silicon layers around the SiNWs, with respect to their crystallinity, the doping level, and the influence of ...

Monthly air temperature trends in Switzerland 1901-2000 and 1975-2004

Martine Rebetez, Marco Eli Reinhard

We analysed long-term temperature trends based on 12 homogenised series of monthly temperature data in Switzerland at elevations between 316 m.a.s.l. and 2490 m.a.s.l for the 20th century (1901-2000) and for the last thirty years (1975-2004). Comparisons w ...

On the climate change effects of high oil prices

Marc Vielle

Some commentators claim that the oil market has achieved within a few months what international bureaucrats have struggled to obtain in a decade of international climate negotiations. The fallacy of the oil price argument is that substitutions and income e ...

Climate change and hydropower production in the Swiss Alps: quantification of potential impacts and related modelling uncertainties

André Musy, Bettina Schaefli

This paper addresses two major challenges in the field of climate change impact analysis on water resources systems: i) incorporation of a large range of potential climate change scenarios and ii) quantification of related modelling uncertainties. The deve ...

Accounting for global mean warming and scaling uncertainties in climate change impact studies: application to a regulated lakes system

André Musy, Bettina Schaefli, Abdelkader Mezghani

A probabilistic assessment of climate change and related impacts should consider a large range of potential future climate scenarios. State-of-the-art climate models, especially coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models and Regional Climate Model ...

The coupling of optimal economic growth and climate dynamics

Alain Haurie

In this paper, we study optimal economic growth programs coupled with climate change dynamics. The study is based on models derived from MERGE, a well established integrated assessment model (IAM). We discuss first the introduction in MERGE of a set of “to ...

Coupling climate and economic models in a cost-benefit framework: A convex optimisation approach

Alain Haurie

In this paper, we present a general method, based on a convex optimisation technique, that facilitates the coupling of climate and economic models in a cost-benefit framework. As a demonstration of the method, we couple an economic growth model à la Ramsey ...

Assessment of climate change impacts on Alpine discharge regimes with climate model uncertainty

André Musy, Bettina Schaefli, Abdelkader Mezghani

The present study analyzes the uncertainty induced by the use of different state-of-the-art climate models on the prediction of climate change impacts on the runoff regimes of 11 mountainous catchments in the Swiss Alps having current glaciation rates betw ...

Quantification of modelling uncertainties in climate change impact studies on water resources

Bettina Schaefli

This PhD thesis presents the development of a methodological framework to analyse potential climate change impacts on a high mountainous water resources system and to quantify the associated modelling uncertainties. The main objective is to show whether st ...
