Delineating policies: governing spaces with no coextensive institutions

Thomas Charles Marie Pierre Favre-Bulle

Many policies are spatially targeted: they attempt to foster or incent policy actions in areas meeting specific criteria. The identification and delineation of the spatial reality of interest is a major challenge to spatially targeted policies. In many cas ...

Probing whole-stream metabolism: influence of spatial heterogeneity on rate estimates

Janine Rüegg

Whole-stream metabolism has been estimated by measuring in-stream oxygen (O2) concentrations since the method was introduced over 50 years ago. However, the influence of measurement location and estimation method on metabolism rates is understudied. We ...

Field study on drainage densities and rescaled width functions in a high‐altitude alpine catchment

Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Raphaël Mutzner

This paper addresses the effect of accurately mapping spatially heterogeneous drainage densities in high-altitude alpine basins on Rescaled Width Functions (RWFs), used in some applications as a minimalist model of the hydrologic response. The channel netw ...

Physical-biological interactions - implications for biogeochemistry, productivity, export, diversity and transport

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Isabel Blanca Sophie Kiefer

Analysis of chlorophyll-a map from remote sensing satellite data (MERIS) showed a consistent low concentration biomass in the middle of Lake Geneva for about two weeks in autumn 2009. A three dimensional hydrodynamic model (Delft3D-flow) validated with tem ...

Feature fusion reflects temporal integration. Previous studies mostly employed foveal presentations with no attention manipulation. In this study we examined the effects of sustained spatial attention on temporal integration using feature-fusion with perip ...

Very high-resolution digital elevation models for multi-scale analysis in landscape genomics (GENESCALE)

Stéphane Joost

At which spatial scale can selection be tracked? Very high-resolution environmental and genome-wide molecular characterization in Arabis alpina shall indicate if local adaptation acts locally or globally. Though termed local in the scientific jargon, adapt ...

Land-surface heterogeneity affects turbulent fluxes of momentum and scalars (i.e., heat, moisture and trace gases). In particular, non-uniform momentum and scalar flux distributions are expected downwind of complex urban environments and steep topography, ...

Algae and jatropha, two types of promising and unconventional biomass, are investigated in this study for large-scale production of biodiesel. The aim is to evaluate the potential advantages and the magnitude of closeness of life cycle balances between the ...

Comparison and evaluation of satellite derived precipitation products for hydrological modeling of the Zambezi River Basin

Anton Schleiss, Théodora Cohen Liechti

In the framework of the African DAms ProjecT (ADAPT), an integrated water resource management study in the Zambezi Basin is currently under development. In view of the sparse gauging network for rainfall monitoring, the observations from spaceborne instrum ...

Swiss tourism in the age of climate change

Cecilia Matasci

This thesis analyses the impacts of climate change on Swiss tourism. It looks in particular at the regional vulnerability, adaptation, and barriers that hinder this process. The final goal of the work is to make a contribution in bringing about a smoother ...
