With a background in applied research across various hydrological disciplines, I have
This research aims to explore the predictability of drought at a monthly time horizon in the form of low flow in Switzerland and the European Alps by using machine learning techniques and linking large scale weather patterns with local hydrological events.
disaster that is not historically associated with the European Alps, however, studies have
The main objective of SnowInflow is to reduce errors in inflow forecasts for hydropower producers during the critical snowmelt period. SLF will contribute with improved physics-based snow models and associated data assimilation schemes.
Also, physics-based snow models have become useful operationally, and can in combination
Using stable isotopes, we want to investigate how a changing light quality could affect plant functioning and what mechanisms underlie these responses, especially when light interacts with other environmental factors.
Stable isotopes have been widely used in ecophysiological studies of the gas-exchange
During periods of low water availability, trees differently modulate C and H2O fluxes to balance photosynthesis, growth, and other metabolic activities. However, we still do not know how increased vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and reduced soil water availability periods affect whole-tree hydraulics.
To efficiently manage these processes, trees have developed various water-use strategies
ALANex brings together lighting engineers, practitioners, and experts from ecological and social sciences to reduce the negative impacts of artificial light at night while still meeting human lighting needs.
Recent advances in lighting technology have resulted in the low-maintenance, targeted

Using dated tree rings, I gain detailed insight into how trees have grown over centuries
Using advanced dendrometer technology, we aim to unravel drought stress and growth patterns in European forests. By developing new analysis methods and leveraging a network of research sites, it seeks to pinpoint areas most vulnerable to drought across Central Europe.
Through advanced analytical techniques, we have identified consistent shrinkage thresholds
