Hydrothermodynamics of a small alpine lake
… the hydrothermodynamic properties of small alpine lakes, with specific reference to the case of lake Tovel (Trentino, Italy). The lake was subject to a spectacular reddening which had been occurring each year until 1964, when the phenomenon suddenly ceased. The work has been developed within …

Suspended sediment concentration in Alpine glacial meltwaters
… concentration in meltwaters draining from Alpine glaciers vary considerably both diurnally and seasonally. In order to characterise sediment variability, sub-daily close-interval sampling measurements of suspended sediment concentrations are usually undertaken. In close-interval sampling, …

MODELING APPROACHES FOR CLIMATE MITIGATION IN ALPINE FORESTS.
… The aim of the thesis is to analyse the role of alpine forests, harvested wood product and forest management in climate change mitigation and adaptation, and how different development trajectories can affect this role. The study area covers the forests of Valle Camonica and part of Valtellina, …

Tracing carbon flows through Arctic and alpine watersheds
… the cycling and transformation of DOM in alpine headwater streams. We collected surface and hyporheic water samples from two watersheds varying in channel complexity (single-thread and multi-thread) at eight time points spanning the seasonal hydrograph. We found that connectivity across …

Characterizing aerobic and anaerobic performance in alpine skiing
… dryland performance of trained adolescent alpine skiers from the end of season to pre-season, and to assess the longitudinal changes in dryland jump performance over a 26-month period. Skiers between the ages of 15 and 18 volunteered for this study (n = 8; 16.5 ± 1.1 years; 73.3 ± 10.2 …

Hydropeaking in Alpine rivers: an ecosystem services approach
… We applied the method to the Noce River, an Alpine River in Northern Italy affected by hydropeaking. Our analysis showed that in this river, the water releases are fundamental to maintain high flow conditions required for rafting, which can be granted only by hydropower production especially …

Meltwater temperature in streams draining from Alpine glaciers
… in rivers. In meltwater streams draining from Alpine glaciers, temperatures measured close to glacier termini show strong diurnal variation and paradoxical seasonal variation, being cool when energy availability is greatest. This thesis aims to describe temporal variations of water temperatures …

Temperature-index modelling of runoff from adeclining Alpine glacier
… in the Alps. Gornergletscher differs from other Alpine glaciers as a result ofits wide and relatively flat trunk.3. The study aims to calculate whether there is a linear or non-linear trend in ice areachange with elevation following model tuning. It is generally thought withGornergletscher that …

Contested nationhood: Literary Geographies of contemporary Italian Alpine borders
… as expressed in Italian literature set in the Alpine border regions from the 1980s to the present. It explores how the presence of the national border, along with its related geopolitical, cultural, and social dynamics, influences Italian-language literary production and the imagined …

Sediment transport modelling at the catchment scale in Alpine streams
Sediment management in river networks is of crucial importance for both environmental, productive and safety reasons. For instance, lost of sediment connectivity along river networks is recognized as a major cause of habitat degradation and biodiversity loss worldwide, and erosion/deposition …

Spatial assessment of multiple ecosystem services in an Alpine region
… analyses. The methods have been tested on an Alpine region of Italy, Trentino. The Alps present a heterogeneous landscape, resulting from the combination of natural and urbanized environments, that allows the supply of a wide range of ESs. The research has four specific objectives. The first …

The assimilation of surface observations in the European Alpine region
This dissertation presents the development, testing and refinement of an operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) routine based on the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for a domain encompassing the European Alps. Surface observations from official observational networks and …

Simulating Areal Snowcover Depletion and Snowmelt Runoff in Alpine Terrain
… better understanding and prediction of some alpine snow hydrology components, which are currently limited due to the large spatial heterogeneity of snow accumulation and melt processes, and problems with the scaling of these processes in hydrological models. The work presented in this thesis …

Climate significance of stable isotope records from Alpine ice cores
Tiefenprofile der stabilen Wasserisotopomere (d18O und dD) dreier tiefer Eisbohrkerne vom Monte Rosa Massiv (Schweizer Alpen) wurden im Hinblick auf möglicherweise aufgezeichnete Temperatursignale ausgewertet. Durch eine neuartige Methode der Wasserreduktion sind On-line dD Messungen mit einer …
