Predictive performance of multi-model ensemble forecasts of COVID-19 across European nations

Ntorina Thanou, Nicola Parolini, Benjamin Bejar Haro, Daniel Rodrigo Lopez, Ekaterina Krymova, Andrea Kraus, David Kraus

Background:Short-term forecasts of infectious disease burden can contribute to situational awareness and aid capacity planning. Based on best practice in other fields and recent insights in infectious disease epidemiology, one can maximise the predictive p ...

Considering snow depositions and transport mechanisms in meteorological analysis of predicting snow loads on buildings

Michael Lehning

The meteorological conditions determine snow evolutions on and around buildings. Those climatic impacts have been independently considered in the current design codes of buildings, namely the wind pressure and the snow load. But snow load estimates are onl ...

In situ observations of the Swiss periglacial environment using GNSS instruments

Alessandro Cicoira

Monitoring of the periglacial environment is relevant for many disciplines including glaciology, natural hazard management, geomorphology, and geodesy. Since October 2022, Rock Glacier Velocity (RGV) is a new Essential Climate Variable (ECV) product within ...

LCA as key factor for implementation of inertia in a low carbon performance driven design: the case of the smart living building in Fribourg, Switzerland

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha, Arianna Brambilla

The building sector is known as a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption. These impacts are commonly evaluated by life cycle assessment (LCA), which assess the potential impacts of a building from the construction to the ...

Embedding Stochasticity in Building Simulation Through Synthetic Weather Files

Marilyne Andersen, Parag Rastogi

This paper presents an attempt to create synthetic weather data for stochastic building simulation. The synthetic data are created entirely from the freely available Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) weather files using time series models and resampling. T ...

Influence of dam operation on water resources management under different scenarios in the Zambezi River Basin considering environmental objectives and hydropower

Théodora Cohen Liechti

Worldwide, almost 50,000 dams over 15 m height have been built during the last six decades with an aggregated storage capacity of 6,000 km3. The fact that large dams, by increasing irrigation and hydroelectricity production, can sustain development and red ...

Improving Alpine Flood Prediction through Hydrological Process Characterization and Uncertainty Analysis

Cara Christine Tobin

Among the many challenges of Alpine flood prediction is describing complex, meteo-hydrological processes in a simplified, robust manner that can be easily integrated into operational forecasting. In this dissertation, improved methods to characterize these ...
