Global emergent responses of stream microbial metabolism to glacier shrinkage

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Tyler Joe Kohler, Massimo Bourquin, Michail Styllas, Nicola Deluigi

Most cryospheric ecosystems are energy limited. How their energetics will respond to climate change remains largely unknown. This is particularly true for glacier-fed streams, which interface with the cryosphere and initiate some of Earth's largest river s ...

Hybrid Modelling Approach to Study Scour Potential at Chancy-Pougny Dam Stilling Basin

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Erik Bollaert, Sabine Chamoun, Davide Wüthrich

Chancy-Pougny is a run-of-river dam on the Swiss-French border constructed in the early 1920s. Since its inauguration, the operation of the four spillway gates was responsible for a progressive erosion of the stilling basin. Thus, a hybrid modelling was pe ...

Are flat-field snow depth measurements representative? A comparison of selected index sites with areal snow depth measurements at the small catchment scale

Michael Lehning

Single or a limited number of point observations, such as from index stations, are commonly assumed to be representative for the snow cover of larger areas in many applications. This study presents a systematic investigation of the relationship between poi ...

Snowpack regimes of the Western United States

Ernesto Trujillo Gomez

Snow accumulation and melt patterns play a significant role in the water, energy, carbon, and nutrient cycles in the montane environments of the Western United States. Recent studies have illustrated that changes in the snow/rainfall apportionments and sno ...

Sustainable Land Use in Mountain Regions Under Global Change: Synthesis Across Scales and Disciplines

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Adrienne Grêt-Regamey

Mountain regions provide essential ecosystem goods and services (EGS) for both mountain dwellers and people living outside these areas. Global change endangers the capacity of mountain ecosystems to provide key services. The Mountland project focused on th ...

Spatio-temporal measurements and analysis of snow depth in a rock face

Michael Lehning

Snow in rock faces plays a key role in the alpine environment for permafrost distribution, snow water storage or runoff in spring. However, a detailed assessment of snow depths in steep rock walls has never been attempted. To understand snow distribution i ...
