2017

Federica Remondi won the Best Poster Award for Research Innovation at the 15th Swiss Geoscience Meeting in Davos in 2017. Congratulations Fede!

On Saturday 18^th November 2017 many researchers from our group were presenting their work at the 15^th Swiss Geoscience Meeting

Pascal Buri has successfully defended his PhD thesis with a very compelling presentation on debris covered glaciers!

This year Society in Science – The Branco Weiss Fellowship has selected Dr. Gabriele Manoli as one of five new fellows. Dr. Manoli will investigate the functioning of “green cities” working in our group and the Singapore ETH Center.

Naika Meili won the Best Presentation Award at the 2nd FCL Annual Conference held in Zurich this month. Congratulations Naika!

A link between climate change and floods has been identified at a European scale using a flood dataset containing over 4700 river basins. A study led by TU Vienna and 30 European partners including the Hydrology Group at ETH Zurich published in Science shows that the timing of floods has shifted across much of Europe in the last 50 years.

A new study on thresholds for rainfall induced landslides published in Water Resources Research investigates the predictability of landsliding from daily gridded precipitation data and a cross-country landslide inventory in Switzerland.

A new stochastic weather generator for a two-dimensional grid which simulates high resolution climatic data in time (min) and space (km) has  been published in the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems (JAMES).

Applications are now open for the ETH-EPFL Summer School on Catchment Transport Processes that will take place 2-7 July 2017 in Einsiedeln (CH).

Alvaro Ayala has successfully defended his PhD thesis with a very compelling presentation on glacier surface sublimation in the Andes!
