    High-Resolution Groundwater Flux Measurement Using the Actively Heated Fiber Optics Method

    In groundwater hydrology, the characterization of the distribution of groundwater flow within the critical zone received considerable attention in the last decades. Our ability to quantify groundwater flow greatly controls our ability to characterize aquifers, predict contaminant transport, assess recharge and discharge, and understand biogeochemical reactions and processes occurring in the subsurface.

    Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) to mitigate droughts

    My main aim during my sabbatical is to build a bridge between groundwater science and society as well as politics. Climate and global change put enormous pressure on our water resources for drinking water production, water dependent ecosystems, irrigation and industrial use. Even in water-rich Switzerland, where 80% of the drinking water production is covered by groundwater, water managers nationwide think about artificially recharging aquifers to cover the growing demand of water and to adapt to climate change.

    Analyse fréquentielle des crues en Afrique de l'Ouest dans un contexte de changement climatique.

    Des inondations dévastatrices affectent de manière récurrente l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Pour atténuer les impacts de ces inondations et réduire la vulnérabilité des populations, une meilleure connaissance de la fréquence de ces événements extrêmes est indispensable. Le manque de données hydrométriques fiables a longtemps constitué une limitation majeure dans l'analyse fréquentielle des crues dans cette région.

    A Value Case Approach for Water and Heritage through the lens of Paris and the Ile de France

    How we live with water is a result of technology, lifestyles and values at a specific point in time. The heritage we value and its role for living with water today and in the future can change over time. The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics stands exemplary: it activated concepts of the past for a rethinking of the Seine as swimmable river and heart of the city.
