Predictive Hydrology: A Frequency Analysis Approach

The unusual frequency of hydro-meteorological events in recent decades, often with catastrophic consequences for society and the environment, require new methods for designing water management projects and the structures meant to protect us from natural ha ...

Coupled seismogenic geohazards in Alpine regions

Lyesse Laloui, Pierino Lestuzzi, Alessio Ferrari, Cyrill Silvan Baumann, Clotaire Michel, Fabrice Dupray, Amin Karbassi

COupled seismogenic GEohazards in Alpine Regions (COGEAR) is an interdisciplinary natural hazard project investigating the hazard chain induced by earthquakes. It addresses tectonic processes and the related variability of seismicity in space and time, ear ...

Curling instability induced by swelling

Matthieu Wyart

We study the spontaneous curving observed when a strip of tracing paper is deposited on a water surface. The differential swelling across the ribbon thickness leads to a curling of the sheet, with the curvature increasing to a maximum and then relaxing as ...

The vulnerability of Swiss Alpine tourism to climate change. An analysis of its causes, its magnitude, and its spatial heterogeneity

Cecilia Matasci

In this work, we analyze the vulnerability of tourism to climate change in 53 Swiss alpine regions. We analyzed in particular the impacts generated by changes in climate suitability for tourism activities, snowpack reduction, glaciers melting, permafrost m ...

The decision support tool MINDS for flood management in the upper Rhone river

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández

The Upper Rhone River is located in the Swiss Alps. Several hydropower schemes with large reservoirs were built in the catchment area, strongly influencing its hydrological regime. In past decades, several floods caused disasters in the catchment area. The ...

GIS-based 3D modelling for landslide hazard assessment: increasing the objectivity of hazard maps.

Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot

Recent decades have been marked by many disasters caused by natural hazards.Gravitational phenomena in particular have resulted in several deaths and extensive damage to infrastructure. Nearly 10% of Swiss territory is considered unstable. It therefore req ...

SensorTune: a Mobile Auditory Interface for DIY Wireless Sensor Networks.

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jeffrey Huang, Julien Freudiger, Guillaume Zufferey, Jacques Panchard, Enrico Costanza

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) allow the monitoring of activity or environmental conditions over a large area, from homes to industrial plants, from agriculture fields to forests and glaciers. They can support a variety of applications, from assisted livi ...

Hydro-Mechanical Modelling of a Natural Slope Affected by a Multiple Slip Surface Failure Mechanism

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari

A coupled hydro-mechanical formulation is presented for the analysis of landslide motion during crisis episodes. The mathematical formulation is used to model a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism, in which pore water pressu ...
