Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
The Mountain snowpack stores months of winter precipitation at high elevations, supplying snowmelt to lowland areas in drier seasons for agriculture and human consumption worldwide. Accurate seasonal predictions of the snowpack are thus of great importance ...
Patterns in nature arise from processes interacting across a continuum of spatial scales, where new relationships emerge at each level of investigation. These patterns are nested features encompassing fine-scale local patterns, such as topography and geolo ...
The snow surface morphology is shaped throughout a winter season by atmospheric conditions, like precipitation, wind, solar irradiance, air temperature or relative humidity. Changes in morphology affect the snow surface roughness which influences the turbu ...
Since 2013, Crealp (Centre de Recherche sur l’Environnement Alpin) is operating a realtime flood forecasting system for the upper Rhone river basin. The scarcity of meteorological input data at high elevation leads to model uncertainties. In this project, ...
Measurements of the Free Troposphere (FT) are important for the study of Climate Change and understanding the Earth’s atmosphere in general. Ground-based, high altitude measurement stations are useful for their ability to collect consistent in situ FT meas ...
Switzerland has committed itself to an ambitious energy strategy. It aims to replace the exist- ing nuclear generation capacity with predominantly indigenous renewable resources. Wind power could play a significant role in this transition, yet the wind res ...
The vulnerability of alpine environments to climate change presses an urgent need to accurately model and understand these ecosystems. Popularity in the use of digital elevation models (DEMs) to derive proxy environmental variables has increased over the p ...
Alpine hydrology is particularly challenging due to the complexity of mountainous terrain and the spatial and temporal variability of meteorological parameters such as precipitation, temperature and evaporation. Yet improving our understanding of hydrologi ...
Airborne Laser Scanning is a well-known remote sensing technology, which provides a dense and highly accurate, yet unorganized point cloud of earth surface. During the last decade, extracting information from the data generated by airborne LiDAR systems ha ...
The spatial distribution of snow in the mountains is highly heterogeneous, and processes behind this heterogeneity are not yet understood quantitatively. Based on (i) increasing accuracy and spatial coverage of remotely sensed snow depth maps, which have b ...
