Navid Ahmadi visit us!
Welcome to our guest Navid from Darmstadt Technical Univeristy! He will stay for 4 months. We wish him a good time!
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
Groundwater and Climate – AquaViva
Take a look at our latest divulgation article on ‘Groundwater and Climate’ in AquaViva together with our colleagues from the Swiss Groundwater Network CHGNet https://aquaviva.ch/de/angebot/zeitschrift/2-uncategorised/775-zeitschrift-aqua-viva-2-2023-literaturverzeichnis
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!

SEP Group in the cover of Eawag Annual Report 2022! This document highlights the Eawag commitment to the education of undergraduate and doctoral students in natural, engineering, and social sciences.
New PhD student
Zahra Hajian joined our group in May 2023. Welcome Zahra!
New publication
Dorothee Kurz's paper on how both biofilm clustering and its internal permeability contribute to the fluid velocity variability in porous media is now been published in Environmental Science and Technology.
New publication
A new publication in Water Resources Research in collaboration with CSIC-Barcelona colleagues (Ilian Ben-Noah, Juan Hidalgo, and Marco Dentz) on the mechanisms behind the anomalous transport in unsaturated porous media.
