Die Gruppe Waldentomologie beschäftigt sich mit Waldinsekten im weitesten Sinne: Potentielle Schadorganismen, natürliche Feinde, Artenvielfalt.
ETH-wide collaboration project about science policy dialogue, we produce targeted models
We critically lack leaf temperature assessments because of the difficulties associated with these measurements. The project aims at developing a novel approach that reconstructs leaf temperature over multiple time scales using plant water isotopes.
isotopic signals in leaf compounds to reconstruct leaf temperatures via mechanistic models
The ongoing digital transformation and the push towards open science sets new challenges when it comes to data processing and reproducibility. Our project aims at addressing these issues by providing a course for WSL on the usage of modern software engineering tools and high-performance computing to enable the automation of the data pipeline and ultimately facilitating reproducible and open science.
A vast majority of projects in natural sciences deal with input data to feed models
COST Actions sind ein flexibles, schnelles, effektives und effizientes Netzwerkinstrument der EU für Forschende, Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure und Lernende, um national finanzierte Projekte miteinander zu koordinieren.
new process-based descriptions of belowground C dynamics within biogeochemical models
High-mountain precipitation is a key variable for simulating glacier runoff in High-Mountain Asia but is poorly known and difficult to measure directly. This project investigates the quantity, seasonality and variability of precipitation in selected catchments of High-Mountain Asia, and determines t
This project combines in-situ data with glacier mass balance and hydrological models

Kirchner’s s recent research has focused on developing simple, tractable mathematical models
Supraglacial debris considerably alters the response of glaciers to changes in climate, yet debris-covered glaciers are notoriously difficult to delineate due to their fuzzy boundaries and spectral similarities to marginal moraines. Their surfaces are often characterized by supraglacial ponds and ex
This theme of our research enables the development and application of models to better

In order to quantify this effect on a large scale, we depend on rockfall models,
This project investigates the thermal and mechanical effects of water in rock fractures in mountain permafrost regions.

Accounting for evolutionary responses based on tree-ring traits will allow reducing uncertainties in the spatial distributions of European trees species under forthcoming climate change scenarios
A new generation of models bridges this gap by using tree-ring fitness-related and
