Glaciers
(2020)Meltwater from Alpine glaciers is a key component of the Swiss hydrological budget: It significantly contributes to total discharge, sustains minimum flow levels during dry periods, and shapes seasonal regimes. Due to climate change, Swiss glaciers are anticipated to lose between 59% and 93% of their 2018 ice volume by 2100. The associated glacier retreat will impact hydrology, ecosystems, sediment transport, water quality, landscapes, ...Report -
Anthropogenic Heat Due to Road Transport: A Mesoscopic Assessment and Mitigation Potential of Electric Vehicles and Autonomous Vehicles in Singapore
(2020)The objective of this work is to evaluate the heat mitigation strength on a city-scale of electri cation and automation of the road transport sector. We present a case study for the city of Singapore examining the spatio-temporal pro le of the heat emissions due to road transport for a typical day. We calibrate and validate our simulation model which is later used for analysis of future electri cation and automation scenarios. ...Report -
