Emergency adaptation to distance learning: no magic bullet, but where there’s a will, there’s a way

Caroline Pulfrey

Whilst, in many countries, the sudden enforced transfer to large-scale distance learning in state schools as a result of COVID_19 lockdown measures caused turmoil, it also provided an unprecedented opportunity to understand more about key factors associate ...

New perspectives for spatial planning in Switzerland: the role of ecosystem services

Rémi Jaligot

Spatial planning deals with the spatial expression of human activities in an integrated way to minimize their negative impacts on the natural and land systems. Rapid land use and land cover changes are important drivers of change of the benefits people der ...

Simultaneous autoregressive models for spatial extremes

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud

Motivated by the widespread use of large gridded data sets in the atmospheric sciences, we propose a new model for extremes of areal data that is inspired by the simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) model in classical spatial statistics. Our extreme SAR model ...

Tracing China's external driving sources and internal emission hotspots of export-driven PM10 emission

Yue Lu, Qinli Lu

External trade could induce extensive air pollutant emissions among partners. PM10 (particles smaller than 10 mu m) is an important pollutant that could cause various problems. Few studies have researched the spatial heterogeneity of this export-driven pol ...

Advancing ecohydrology in the 21st century: A convergence of opportunities

Andrea Rinaldo, Gabriel George Katul, Nicolaas Cornelis van de Giesen

Nature-based solutions for water-resource challenges require advances in the science of ecohydrology. Current understanding is limited by a shortage of observations and theories that can further our capability to synthesize complex processes across scales ...

Towards housing sustainability: a framework for the decision-making process of tenants

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani

The mismatch between the supply and demand of rental apartments in Switzerland represents an obstacle to the transition towards a more sustainable society. The difficulty for the housing providers to accommodate the fast societal change of the demand bring ...

Historical dynamics of ecosystem services and land management policies in Switzerland

Jérôme Chenal, Rémi Jaligot, Stéphanie Aline Hasler, Martí Bosch Padrós

Ecosystem services (ES) are dynamic over space and time. Understanding and quantifying spatio-temporal trade-offs and synergies among multiples ES, as well identifying the drivers of change provides an opportunity to make the link between ecosystems, polic ...

Stakeholders’ Perspectives to Support the Integration of Ecosystem Services in Spatial Planning in Switzerland

Jérôme Chenal, Rémi Jaligot

Integrating the concept of ecosystem services (ES) into spatial planning is an opportunity to make land use and management choices that maximize the delivery of multiple ES. The assessment of social demand can be useful for the identification of priority a ...

Structure of a dense release produced by varying initial conditions

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Jessica Zordan

Buoyancy driven flows such as gravity currents, present in nature and human made applications, are conveyors of particles or dissolved substances for long distances with clear implications for the environment. This transport depends on the triggering condi ...

Model for the erosion onset of a granular bed sheared by a viscous fluid

Matthieu Wyart

We study theoretically the erosion threshold of a granular bed forced by a viscous fluid. We first introduce a model of interacting particles driven on a rough substrate. It predicts a continuous transition at some threshold forcing theta(c), beyond which ...
