Experimental floods released from dams for ecological purposes also bring along large amounts of fine sediment which need to be measured. An example of such an application is produced here by Jessica Droujko from the HYDROL group.

PhD student Stefano Martinetti is presenting his research which explores the effect of stem water storage (tree capacitance) on tree transpiration rates this week at AGU in Washington D.C.

The next in a series of impacting papers by Dr Mosisa Wakjira from the HYDROL group is addressing possible changes in the suitability of Ethiopian croplands for growing staple cereals under rainfed agriculture for a range of climate change scenarios in the future. This research has implications for food security and sustainable agriculture in Ethiopia.

Congratulations to HYDROL athletes on participating at the 2024 Engadin Skimarathon

Mosisa defended his Doctoral Thesis Understanding the impacts of climate change on rainfed crop production in Ethiopia in the HYDROL group on 29.02.2024. Congratulations!

A data-driven study by Bertola et al. shows that local extreme floods may not be so unexpected when they are viewed in a larger regional context.

A new modelling perspective on soil heterotrophic respiration from our group by Dr Alon Nissan quantifies the changes in global respiration that may expected under a future climate, with dramatic consequences in the Arctic.

After the Covid disruption to conferences, we are finally continuing with the regular international workshops on rainfall in urban areas. Please come and join us at UrbanRain in Pontresina.

The next in a series of publications on the Illgraben by Dr Jacob Hirschberg of HYDROL and WSL explains how sediment limitations may exhibit themselves in modelled sediment yields.

The 9th World Water Forum took place in Dakar Senegal from 22-27 March 2022 with the Swiss Pavilion staffed by the Chair of the Swiss Water Partnership and HYDROL member Darcy Molnar.
