New publication
In our last communication, we model vadose zone hydrological processes in naturally occurring piezometric depressions such as those found in the Chari-Baguirmi (Lake Chad Basin). This has been published in Environmental Earth Sciences and is the result of an international collaboration that includes the World Bank.
In the great outdoors – GLOBE MAGAZINE
In our field course, ETH students are mapping the groundwater in an area of forest near Bern. This fieldwork gives them the skills they need for a career in environmental engineering. https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2023/09/in-the-great-outdoors.html

Global warming accelerates soil heterotrophic respiration!
Projections predict a global increase in heterotrophic respiration (40% in the worst case), with the Arctic experiencing more than two-fold. Glad to be part of this Swiss effort published in Nature Communications! See more here!
New publication
In our last release, we study how the internal heterogeneity of biofilms enhances fluid mixing and reactions and biologically driven reactions, e.g., bioaccumulation, within porous media. This is a manuscript from Ishaan Markale! This has been published in Environmental Science & Technology in collaboration with UC Davis and WSL!
