This project sets out to revise both the basis upon which global glacier changes estimates are computed, and the way these estimates can be interpreted. This will be done by harnessing recent advances in obtaining globally-complete glaciological data, and by including some hitherto unaccounted processes into global glacier projections.
of the results will focus on regional-scale differences, and on scenarios that have

Many long-term interdisciplinary projects have been successfully carried out since
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
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
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
Spatial modelling of drought effects on Swiss forests
Changes in forest health have direct implications for forest management practice,
The aim of this project is to better understand the dynamics and triggering mechanisms of mass movements in a changing climate.
water, sediments and boulders), and ice avalanches, in steep mountain torrents have
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
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
