Abstract Constraining the lithospheric rheology of Tibetan Plateau is important for the physical understanding of its tectonics. Siling Co, the largest high‐altitude lake in the world, has experienced a rapid water level increase in the 2000s. The resulting loading changes stimulate the viscoelastic response of the lower crust, giving access to study ...

A study of the Würm glaciation focused on the Valais region (Alps) [PDF]
During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the glaciation in the European Alps reached maximum ice extent. We already simulated the steady states of the Alpine ice coverage for several climate drivers in Becker et al.

An Unsupervised Machine‐Learning Approach to Understanding Seismicity at an Alpine Glacier
Abstract It is critical to understand the dynamic conditions of Earth's cryosphere, yet the subglacial and englacial environments that control many aspects of ice behavior are inherently difficult to observe. The study of seismicity in glaciers and ice sheets has provided valuable insights about the cryosphere for decades, more recently aided by tools ...

Mutualiser les enjeux territoriaux en contexte de grandes cultures : INSPA, un outil SIG couplant hydrologie et écologie [PDF]
Les zones tampons humides artificielles installées en région agricole drainée sont efficaces non seulement pour améliorer la qualité chimique de l’eau, mais également pour maintenir la biodiversité locale et la diversité du paysage.

Viewpoint: Irrigation water management in a space age
Abstract Climate change and rapid population growth are already putting increasing demand and pressure on the world's freshwater resources. Irrigated agriculture is responsible for about 70% of global freshwater withdrawals, consuming the most amount of water.

Abstract Investments to rehabilitate irrigation infrastructure aim to enhance climate resilience and improve farmers' livelihoods in the face of hydrological risks. Studies seeking to assess the impacts from investments in irrigation primarily focus on yield and income‐related poverty measures.

Ordinal patterns in long‐range dependent time series
Abstract We analyze the ordinal structure of long‐range dependent time series. To this end, we use so called ordinal patterns which describe the relative position of consecutive data points. We provide two estimators for the probabilities of ordinal patterns and prove limit theorems in different settings, namely stationarity and (less restrictive ...

Operational and emerging capabilities for surface water flood forecasting
Recent improvements in forecasting intense rainfall mean it is now possible to forecast surface water flooding. However, operational practices need to adapt to deal with short lead times and high uncertainty in decision‐making. Abstract Surface water (or pluvial) flooding is caused by intense rainfall before it enters rivers or drainage systems. As the

Why productive lakes are larger mercury sedimentary sinks than oligotrophic brown water lakes
Abstract Mercury accumulation in lake sediments is a widespread environmental problem due to the biomagnification of Hg in the aquatic food chain. Soil Hg concentrations, catchment vegetation, erosion, and lake productivity are major factors controlling the accumulation of Hg in lakes.
