Distinguished Lectures Public, scientific lecture series with external speakers. The target audience is scientists, students and the interested public. Depending on the venue, the lectures are transmitted
The project aims at developing, testing and implementing machine learning routines applied to typical geological datasets to automatically identify structural feature traces and surfaces and differentiate discontinuity types.
Large coherent vortices are easily distinguishable by human eye when looking at clouds in the sky or at the whirls of water in rivers and lakes. We develop coherent structure identification methods to detect these vortices and understand their role in mixing stratified flows in lakes and the ocean.
health and recreation Landscapes can contribute to human health and well-being. We explore what distinguishes these types of landscapes and how they affect people. And we investigate how landscape change
activities affect nature and the environment? We address these questions with scientific methods and distinguish between several aspects: Economic valuation of ecosystem goods and services, provided to people
powerful tool for assessing tree microhabitats. Applying a machine learning technique allows to distinguish between some microhabitats quite accurately. Brigitte Rohner Nonlinear - mixed models for tree
The new permafrost and ground ice map of Switzerland distinguishes between ice-poor and ice-rich permafrost. This is useful for construction procjects and for determining potential natural hazards.
