Kilometer-scale Atmospheric Simulation of Clouds over the Tropical Atlantic
(2022)Atmospheric simulation using the limited-area model COSMO at kilometer-scale resolution (3.3 km horizontal grid spacing and 60 vertical levels). The simulation is initialized on August 01, 2006 and run during 4.5 years. The animation shows the period of 2006. The model is initialized and laterally driven by ERA5 reanalysis data. Shallow and deep convection is represented explicitly on the model grid (i.e., no convection parameterizations ...Video -
Nanotomography volume featuring micrometer-sized domains in a dental composite
(2022)The video shows a subvolume of a computed tomography dataset acquired using the full-field transmission x-ray microscope at beamline Anatomix, synchrotron SOLEIL, Gif-sur-Yvette, France. It features micrometer-sized spherical domains inside a dental composite. The data was collected with a photon energy of 10 keV and a pixel size of 17.4 nm.Video -

Utilization-focused scientific policy advice: a six-point checklist
(2020)ISTP4Public Video SeriesIn this video of our "ISTP4Public" series, Prof. David Kaufmann from ETH Zurich’s Spatial Development and Urban Policy Group highlights the need for policy advice that includes considerations of implementability and acceptance of the proposed policy. To help climate scientists provide such utilization-focused policy advice, Prof. Kaufmann worked together with various researchers and formulated a six-point checklist. One of their key ...Other Publication -
Improved on-farm storage reduces seasonal food insecurity of smallholder farmer households
(2020)ISTP4Public Video SeriesIn this "ISTP4Public" video, we focused on a research project investigating low-cost technology for improved on-farm storage. The multi-disciplinary research team responsible for the project includes researchers in Switzerland (ETH Zurich; University of Zurich), research institutes in Africa, and NGOs/IGOS specialized in rural development (Helvetas; UN World Food Programme’s Global Post Harvest Knowledge & Operations Centre). To analyse ...Video
