Radiation, evapotranspiration, and roughness effects of urban trees on local microclimate: A modelling study
(2020)EGUsphereThe increase in urban air temperature caused by urban heat and climate change can have negative effects on the outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) as well as on the energy demand for air-conditioning. Nature-based solutions, such as the increase in urban biomass, are often proposed to mitigate excessive urban heat. Trees are expected to decrease temperatures due to shade provision on surfaces and evapotranspiration but their canopy blocks wind ...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 -
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 -
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
