Melting Alpine Water Towers Aggravate Downstream Low Flows: A Stress‐Test Storyline Approach Open
Droughts can lead to extreme low flow situations in rivers, with resulting severe impacts. Upstream snow and ice melt in many of the world's mountain water towers can alleviate the hydrological consequences of drought, yet global warming t…

How do bark beetle outbreaks impact water quality in temperate forested catchments? Open
Temperate forests provide ecosystem services such as protecting water environment, timber and fuel production, carbon sequestration, and reduction of nutrient loss. During the last decades, large forest areas were decimated world-wide by b…

Climate change impact on rain, snow and glacier melt components of streamflow for the river Rhine: synthesis of a model experiment and relevance for water use  Open
<p>Streamflow of the river Rhine and its tributaries consists of rain, snowmelt and glacier ice melt components. The amounts of these components have already changed in the past years due to climate warming. Hydrological modelling un…

Stress-testing the buffering role of glaciers in the Rhine basin: How much worse could summer low flows get under future glacier retreat? Open
<p>Past drought years, characterized by large scale precipitation deficits and high summer temperatures, such as 2018 in Europe, have resulted in extreme low flow situations with negative ecological, economic and social consequences.…

Glacier melt contribution to streamflow during extremely dry summers Open
<p>Extreme dry (and hot) summers, such as observed in Europe in the years 2003, 2015, 2018 and 2019, cause meteorological, hydrological and soil moisture droughts. These different types of droughts can have a range of negative impact…

Glacio‐hydrological model calibration and evaluation Open
Glaciers are essential for downstream water resources. Hydrological modeling is necessary for a better understanding and for future projections of the water resources in these rapidly changing systems, but modeling glacierized catchments i…

What is the contribution of snow and glacier to discharge in Swiss alpine headwater catchments under climate change? Open
<p><span>Switzerland is often referred to as Europe&#8217;s Water Tower. During the melt season, water stored in the Alps as snow and ice feeds large European rivers such as the Rivers Rhine and Rhone. Under climate change …

Historical glacier outlines from digitized topographic maps of the Swiss Alps Open
Since the end of the Little Ice Age around 1850, the total glacier area of the central European Alps has considerably decreased. In order to understand the changes in glacier coverage at various scales and to model past and future streamfl…
