Uncertainties in local and regional mass movement prediction using rainfall
(2022)EGUsphereThe prediction of debris flows is relevant because this type of natural hazard can pose a threat to humans and infrastructure. Debris-flow (and landslide) early warning systems often rely on rainfall intensity–duration (ID) thresholds. Multiple competing methods exist for the determination of such ID thresholds but have not been objectively and thoroughly compared at multiple scales, and a validation and uncertainty assessment is often ...Other Conference Item -
Parameterizing the spatial structure of torrential rain for flood impact assessments
(2022)IAHS Scientific Assembly 2022In response to climate change, torrential rains undergo changes in their magnitude and temporal properties. In many places, it is predicted that these extreme short-duration rainfalls will intensify, become more frequent, and shorten in duration. In climate change impact studies, the spatial aspect of torrential rain is often overlooked, despite many case studies demonstrating its importance. The main reason why changes in rainfall structure ...Other Conference Item -
Determining transpiration rates from beech and spruce trees with measurements of sapflow, leaf water potential and stomatal conductance
(2022)EGUsphereBeech and spruce trees are dominant species in prealpine forests. Thus, plant-specific physiological traits of beech and spruce are key to determine evapotranspiration fluxes from these forests. During dry periods trees adapt to the decreased soil water availability, however these adaptation strategies are not yet well determined by observation data. Adaptations to water limitations are different between species and if not accounted for, ...Other Conference Item -
Rainfall induced shallow landslides: rainfall thresholds and antecedent conditions
(2022)EGUsphereLandslides are a natural hazard affecting alpine regions all over the world. They cause not only substantial economic damages, but also human casualties. The focus here is on rainfall induced shallow landslides, which happen following an increase in the pore water pressure in the soil. As the name suggests, this typically occurs after rainfall events, either prolonged in time or short but intense, and combining such rainfall data with ...Other Conference Item -
Using high-resolution stochastic climate ensembles to model the impacts and uncertainty of hydrology in mountainous catchments
(2022)IAHS Scientific Assembly 2022Hydrological projections in the context of a changing climate may display high levels of uncertainty, particularly when examining small temporal and spatial scales. To project the response of hydrological processes to the increasing global temperatures, scientists and practitioners rely on chains of numerical models, each contributing some degree of uncertainty to the overall outputs. Furthermore, the randomness intrinsic to climate ...Other Conference Item -
The connections between rainfall regimes and crop production in semi-arid and sub-humid climates: an example from Ethiopia
(2022)IAHS Scientific Assembly 2022Temporal distribution of rainfall is a crucial climatic factor that controls seasonal biomass productivity and crop yield, particularly in tropical semi-arid and sub-humid climates where agriculture is primarily rainfed. This study explores the relationship between temporal rainfall attributes – seasonality, timing, and duration of the wet season -- and cereal crop productivity in the rainfed agriculture (RFA) areas of Ethiopia using the ...Other Conference Item -
Sediment source and pathway identification using Sentinel-2 imagery and (kayak-based) lagrangian river profiles on the Vjosa river
(2022)EGUsphereEstimates of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) at high spatial resolution can be used to identify sediment sources, track the natural erosion gradients over entire mountain ranges, and quantify anthropogenic effects on catchment-scale sediment production, e.g. by dam construction or erosion control. Measurements of SSC at a basin outlet yields a basin-integrated picture of possible hydroclimatically-driven sources of sediment. However, ...Other Conference Item -
A warming-induced rainfall heterogeneity accelerates landscape evolution
(2022)EGUsphereThe hydro-morphological response of a catchment is highly dependent on rainfall properties, including rainfall intensity, storm duration and frequency, and the timing of those events. Furthermore, rainfall spatial variability impacts streamflow, erosion, and sediment transport, and is explored primarily in the context of heavy rainfall triggering floods and rapid morphological changes on hillslopes and in channels. In order to examine the ...Other Conference Item
