Lake Near-shore Hydrodynamic Phenomena – Coastal Upwelling and Cold Water Density Currents Water quality in lakes is closely linked to hydrodynamics and is often strongly affected by thermal stratification, which limits the vertical exchange between the upper...
Atmospheric acidity and its impacts on atmospheric macronutrient deposition Biological diversity and competition among species in ecosystems are sensitive to changes in macronutrient supply and pollution exposure. Human activity is intensively and extensively altering...
ANTIFOULING (1990-2002) Before the creation of the Foundation, the Bois Chamblard site was already used with the support of its owner by the EPFL’s Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, directed by Joseph Tarradellas (retired in 2005). Water,...
CLIMARBRE (2013-2018) In the face of climate change, trees face three scenarios: adaptation, high-altitude migration or extinction. From 2013 to 2018, the Climarbre research project observed this phenomenon on the same altitudinal transect principle as the pioneering...
MOUNTLAND (2008-2013) The Mountland project was in part supported by the Bois Chamblad Foundation. This study sought to understand how mountain pastures will adapt to climate change. The reseach team collected 600 soil monoliths at an altitude of about 1400 m (Col du...
