New paper led by our PhD @alexvdesch.bsky.social ! 🇨🇭🧊
We show how glacio-hydrological model results depend strongly on precipitation forcing and spatial resolution. High-res data = key for reliable #glacier runoff estimates.
Check out the study 📄 hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

Modelling runoff in a glacierized catchment: the role of forcing product and spatial model resolution
Abstract. Glaciers are vital water resources, particularly in alpine regions, sustaining ecosystems and communities during dry summer months. Accurate glacio-hydrological models are essential for unde...

A VAW team was out on #Griesgletscher yesterday, a chance to raise awareness for the #1400ReasonsToAct challenge by @powswitzerland.bsky.social. Glaciers are in bad shape this year. Cooler conditions can’t come soon enough.

🚨 New preprint! 🚨
How do forcing data & resolution impact glacio-hydrological models? 🤔 #VAW PhD student Alex von der Esch used the Glacier Evolution Runoff Model (GERM) to explore trade-offs in a Swiss glacierized catchment. 🏔️💧
