People's perceptions of the cultural ecosystem services of the Sava river in the Balkans: the contribution of participatory mapping

Many rivers in the Balkan Peninsula are recognised at the European level for the biodiversity they host and their strong cultural heritage. However, they are experiencing significant anthropogenic changes, where their biodiversity and cultural values are o ...

Sources and variability of CO 2 in a pre‐alpine stream gravel bar

Tom Ian Battin

Gravel bars (GBs) contribute to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from stream corridors, with CO2 concentrations and emissions dependent on prevailing hydraulic, biochemical, and physicochemical onditions. We investigated CO2 concentrations and fluxes across ...

Experimental evidence reveals impact of drought periods on dissolved organic matter quality and ecosystem metabolism in subalpine streams

Tom Ian Battin

Subalpine streams are predicted to experience lower summer discharge following climate change and water extractions. In this study, we aimed to understand how drought periods impact dissolved organic matter (DOM) processing and ecosystem metabolism of suba ...

A Linear-Quadratic Gaussian Approach to Dynamic Information Acquisition

Thomas Alois Weber, Viet Anh Nguyen

We consider optimal information acquisition for the control of linear discrete-time random systems with noisy observations and apply the findings to the problem of dynamically implementing emissions-reduction targets. The optimal policy, which is provided ...

PH of Aerosols in a Polluted Atmosphere: Source Contributions to Highly Acidic Aerosol

Athanasios Nenes, Haiming Yu

Acidity (pH) plays a key role in the physical and chemical behavior of PM2.5. However, understanding of how specific PM sources impact aerosol pH is rarely considered. Performing source apportionment of PM2.5 allows a unique link of sources pH of aerosol f ...

Modulation of snow reflectance and snowmelt from Central Asian glaciers by anthropogenic black carbon

Julia Schmale, Yang Li

Deposited mineral dust and black carbon are known to reduce the albedo of snow and enhance melt. Here we estimate the contribution of anthropogenic black carbon (BC) to snowmelt in glacier accumulation zones of Central Asia based on in-situ measurements an ...

Strategic energy planning under uncertainty

Stefano Moret

Various countries and communities are defining or rethinking their energy strategy driven by concerns for climate change and security of energy supply. Energy models, often based on optimization, can support this decision-making process. In the current ene ...

Defining deep decarbonization pathways for Switzerland: An economic evaluation based on the computable general equilibrium model GEMINI-E3

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

This paper presents the Swiss contribution to the Deep Decarbonization Pathways (DDP) project which is an international collaborative initiative aiming at understanding and showing how individual countries might define a roadmap paving the way to reaching ...
