Effects of Unsaturated Flow on Salt Distributions in Tidally Influenced Coastal Unconfined Aquifers

Unsaturated flow influences both the seawater extent under steady-state conditions and the propagation of tides in coastal aquifers. However, its effects on salt distributions in tidally influenced coastal aquifers are little investigated. The present stud ...

Ecosystem engineering by periphyton in Alpine proglacial streams

Tom Ian Battin, Davide Mancini

Stream periphytons are candidate ecosystem engineers in proglacial margins. Here, we quantify the extent to which they are engineers for the case of hillslope-fed tributaries in the terrace zones of proglacial margin alluvial plains. Candidate ecosystem en ...

Surface water and groundwater interactions in salt marshes and their impact on plant ecology and coastal biogeochemistry

David Andrew Barry

Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as efficient carbon sinks. However, about half of these wetlands have been los ...

Asymptotic Errors for Teacher-Student Convex Generalized Linear Models (Or: How to Prove Kabashima’s Replica Formula)

Florent Gérard Krzakala, Alia Abbara

There has been a recent surge of interest in the study of asymptotic reconstruction performance in various cases of generalized linear estimation problems in the teacher-student setting, especially for the case of i.i.d standard normal matrices. Here, we g ...

Density currents driven by differential cooling in lakes: occurrence, dynamics and implications for littoral-pelagic exchange

Tomy Doda

Cross-shore flows exchange water laterally in lakes, with ecological implications for the ecosystem. One example is the convective circulation induced by differential cooling, also known as the thermal siphon. This lateral flow forms when the sloping sides ...

Decadal shoreline erosion and recovery of beaches in modified and natural estuaries

Vincent Henri De Staercke

Sandy beaches in estuaries and bays (BEBs) are common landforms on the coasts of many major cities. They exist under a wide range of settings and their morphology is controlled by their distance from the estuary/bay entrance, exposure to different types of ...

Predicting spatial patterns of soil bacteria under current and future environmental conditions

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex

Soil bacteria are largely missing from future biodiversity assessments hindering comprehensive forecasts of ecosystem changes. Soil bacterial communities are expected to be more strongly driven by pH and less by other edaphic and climatic factors. Thus, al ...

Estuarine tidal response to sea level rise: The significance of entrance restriction

Giovanni De Cesare

Estuarine environments, as dynamic low-lying transition zones between rivers and the open sea, are vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). To evaluate the potential impacts of SLR on estuarine responses, it is necessary to examine the altered tidal dynamics, i ...

Hydro-mechanical behaviour of a sandy silt from a river embankment

Alessio Ferrari

The paper presents the results of an experimental campaign aimed at characterizing the hydro mechanical behaviour of a sandy silt from a river embankment Due to continuous river level fluctuations and changing climatic and environmental conditions, flood e ...

Erosion, transport and deposition of a sediment replenishment under flood conditions

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Severin Stähly

River reaches downstream of dams with constant residual discharge often lack sediment supply and periodic high flows due to dam sediment retention and flow regulation, respectively. To test a novel multi-deposit methodology for defining environmental flows ...

Statistical and physical characterization of rainfall-driven overland flow morphologies

Mohsen Cheraghi

Environmental transport processes are highly coupled with the shape of landscapes. Modern catchment analysis with high-resolution data and huge computational powers demand more detailed within-cell metrics for surface evolution modeling. This dissertation ...

Importance of mixotrophic flagellates during the ice-free season in lakes located along an elevational gradient

Hannes Markus Peter

Mixotrophy seems to be widespread among phytoplankton, but whether this strategy is more relevant in oligotrophic lakes remains unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the relative abundance of mixotrophic flagellates in lakes increases along an eleva ...

Time-Continuous Phosphorus Flows in the Indian Agri-Food Sector: Long-Term Drivers and Management Options

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Phosphorus (P) is a major agricultural nutrient and, in its mineable form, a potentially scarce resource. Countries with limited physical access to P should hence develop an effective national P governance. This requires analyses of trends and variations i ...

Modeling Hydraulic Transport and Anaerobic Uptake by PAOs and GAOs During Wastewater Feeding in EBPR Granular Sludge Reactors

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt

New-generation bioprocesses using granular sludge aim for a high-rate removal of nutrients from wastewater with low footprint. Achieving enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) relies on the design of sludge beds and wastewater feeding conditions to ...

Statistical characterization of spatiotemporal sediment dynamics in the Venice lagoon

Andrea Rinaldo

Characterizing the dynamics of suspended sediment is crucial when investigating the long-term evolution of tidal landscapes. Here we apply a widely tested mathematical model which describes the dynamics of cohesive and noncohesive sediments, driven by the ...

Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part I: Flow and turbulence fields

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

The major objective of this study was to develop further understanding of 3D nearshore hydrodynamics under a variety of wave and tidal forcing conditions. The main tool used was a comprehensive 3D numerical model – combining the flow module of Delft3D with ...

Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part II. Sediment transport

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

This is the second of two papers on the 3D numerical modeling of nearshore hydro- and morphodynamics. In Part I, the focus was on surf and swash zone hydrodynamics in the cross-shore and longshore directions. Here, we consider nearshore processes with an e ...

Integrated stochastic modeling of pharmaceuticals in sewage networks

Sylvain Coutu, Timothée Noé Pouchon, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz

Pharmaceuticals and particularly antibiotics can harm sensitive aquatic species. Their occurrence in urban wastewater systems is the consequence of five successive processes: (i) ingestion of the substance, (ii) accumulation in the urine, (iii) excretion, ...

Influence of consecutive sediment replenishment on channel bed morphology

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Elena Battisacco

Dams interrupt the longitudinal connectivity of a river as they store water and trap sediment. When transport capacity downstream of dams exceeds sediment supply, water becomes hungry and channel incision, bed armouring and reduction of morphological diver ...

Carbon fate in a large temperate human-impacted river system: Focus on benthic dynamics

Nicolas Thomas Georges Escoffier

Fluvial networks play an important role in regional and global carbon (C) budgets. The Seine River, from the Paris urban area to the entrance of its estuary (220km), is studied here as an example of a large human-impacted river system subject to temperate ...
