2016
Study on the response of water-limited ecosystems to elevated CO2 published in PNAS
Simone Fatichi published the research on "Partitioning direct and indirect effects reveals the response of water-limited ecosystems to elevated CO2" in PNAS
Congratulations Dr. Saletti!
Matteo Saletti has successfully defended his PhD thesis with a very compelling presentation on step formation in steep streams!
Summer School on Fluvial Geomorphology ETH-EPFL
A Summer School on Fluvial Geomorphology, founded by the ETH Board, took place in Losone (CH) in June 2016. The School has been organized by PhD students from ETH (Matteo Saletti and Anna Costa for the Hydrology group) and EPFL and it has been attended by 31 students coming from 16 different universities and 7 countries.
Study on the future hydrology of the Andes and Himalayas published in PNAS
Silvan Ragettli published the research on "Contrasting climate change impact on river flows from high-altitude catchments in the Himalayan and Andes Mountains" in PNAS
New step-pool stream model in EsurfD
Matteo Saletti developed a new particle-based reduced-complexity model (CAST) to simulate sediment transport and channel morphology in steep streams as part of his PhD. The paper is published in the EGU journal Earth Surface Dynamics.
