Water resources in high mountains play a fundamental role for societies and ecosystems
both locally and downstream. Impacts of global change, including climate change, glacier …

How useful are satellite-based rainfall estimates (SRFE) as forcing data for hydrological
applications? Which SRFE should be favoured for hydrological modelling? What could …

Glacier shrinkage caused by climate change is likely to trigger diminished and less
consistent stream flow in glacier-fed watersheds worldwide. To understand, model, and …

How fair is the allocation of the infrastructure of a bike-sharing system (BSS)? Design
guidelines for BSSs focus on optimizing the demand but not on who is served who is not …

Most bike-sharing systems in cities aim to maximize demand, an approach that tends to
inadvertently favor wealthier neighborhoods. Therefore, we developed a heuristic and data …

Agent-based models (ABMs) have been widely used to study socioecological systems. They
are useful for studying such systems because of their ability to incorporate micro-level …

With few exceptions, insects are perceived in industrialized countries as undesirable pests.
In reality, relatively few insects interfere with us or our resources. Most have benign or …

Models of the land system are essential to our understanding of the magnitude and impacts
of climate change. These models are required to represent a large number of processes in …
