Alpine scenario: La Fouly Susana Fernandez Vidal EPFL - EFLUM

Rationales and Goals of the monitoring 1. Generation and acquisition of data which describes hazardous scenarios in the Swiss Alps 2. Studying and analyzing environmental processes that might trigger hazardous scenarios, such as floods, debris-flows and landslides 3. Assessing the impact of spatial variability related to meteorological and soil characteristics, on catchment hydrology 4. Characterizing the soil more in detail to improve soil moisture modeling 5. Hydrograph separation: snow and ice melt, rainfall-runoff, groundwater drainage 6. Improve hydrological modeling using a 3D-physically based model 7. Study of the slope winds

ISOTOPE APPLICATIONS IN CATCHMENT HYDROLOGY To answer to questions like: - Where water goes when it rains? - What pathways it takes to the stream? - How long water resides in the catchment? Isotope information may be used to calibrate and test distributed rainfall-runoff models (GEOtop, ALpine3D) STABLE ISOTOPE ANALYSER (CAVITY RING DOWN) FOR 18 O/ 16 O & 2 H/ 1 H
