Glacier water pockets (GWPs) are elusive bodies of liquid water that can form within glaciers.
How can the locations of GWPs be determined, and which morphologies do they have?
This ETH-Domain ORD Program Contribute Project aims at curating and uploading the existing data of the European Long-term treeline Ecosystem Research (eLTER) site Stillberg, Switzerland, was established in to national and international ORD platforms (EnviDat, DEIMS-SDR).
In almost 50 years, we have collected a wealth of ecological and environmental data
DRYSOM assesses soil organic matter (SOM) to drought in a long-term irrigation experiment (Pfynwald). Responses range from a suppressed processing through microbial and faunal communities, decreases in carbon inputs from trees into soils, to shifts in soil carbon storage.
These SOM shifts have consequences for microbial communities and long-term carbon
If an avalanche is triggered, how large will it be? To answer this question, we will analyze unique data from field experiments to provide new insights into the process controlling avalanche release and avalanche size.
While in recent years computer models have been used to study this process, there

The WSL program Climate Change Impacts on Alpine Mass Movements (CCAMM) comprises projects covering a range of topics in natural hazards. Most investigations use models and thus require climate forcing data. The aim of this task is to provide meteorological forcings at the slope scale and in high temporal resolution.
In a series of past and current dissertations, the WRF and ARPS models have been

The emergence of visible tree-stress symptoms caused by the emerald ash borer occurs only several years after its arrival and are hard to tell apart from those caused by soil drought. Here, we investigate the potential of reflectance spectroscopy as an early-warning screening tool.
Consequently, the early detection and containment of these species have gained importance
