We warmly welcome our new postdoc researcher Dr. Ahmed Elkouk. He aims to investigate floods under climate change to support the development of sustainable adaptation measures in the Swiss Rhône River. Outside research, he finds peace in reading and quietly watching the flow of a river.

Switch flipped for conditions conducive to #fire: Dry #weather + low #humidity are the main driving forces behind #forestfires, with #temperature playing less of a role. #Wind + a lack of #snow encourage forest fires in #winter.

‼️ Hot off the press in @natwater.nature.com: "Riverine heatwaves are an emergent climate change risk"
We
🐟 (1) highlight the impacts of and unknowns related to riverine heatwaves and
🤔 (2) discuss the research needed to improve our knowledge.

slfdavos.bsky.social WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF @slfdavos.bsky.social · Nov 18
Extreme #temperatures in #mountain streams and rivers harm people, #nature and the economy. #SLF scientist Maria Grundmann is researching how they occur. Her findings should help to develop countermeasures.

Are you working with #watertemperatures in freshwater systems?
Are you doing field work, modelling, large-scale analyses, or catchment studies?
Are you studying natural and anthropogenic processes governing fresh water temperatures, and their implications on ecosystems and water resources?

We are thrilled to announce that #HYCLIMM member Raul Wood, together with WSL researcher @tobias-wechsler.bsky.social, got their WSL grant Snow2HyDro!

This project focuses on the adaptation needs from water resources, energy, and agriculture in the Alpenrhein.

Stay tuned!🤩

How do reservoirs shape streamflow extremes in the Alps?

In his latest study, our #HYCLIMM member Jonas Götte and co-authors analyzed Alpine catchments to understand how (hydropower) #reservoirs influence #streamflow extremes.
