New publication
A new publication from Andrés Velásquez-Parra in Water Resources Research, in which we study the phase saturation control on mixing in porous media from synchrotron 4D X-ray micro-tomography experiments. This is a collaboration between the SEP group and colleagues from PSI and Empa.
New publication
A new publication in Advanced Sciences in which we study bacterial chemotaxis under flow conditions in response to a nutrient hotspot (uncaged by photolysis) within a multiscale porosity micromodel. This is a collaboration between the SEP group, the MIT Department of Biological Engineering and the ETH Environmental Microfluidics Group - Stocker Lab.
New MSc student!
Margherita Ferrarini from Politecnico di Milano will complete her MSc thesis with us! She will stay for 8 months. We wish her a good time!
Aleksander Loncar visit us!
Welcome to our guest Aleksandar Loncar from the University of Rennes! He will stay for 4 months. We wish him a good time!
New publication
In this communication, we have identified “teaching challenges” to enable students' transition from the mental to the conceptual model in groundwater field courses - An Editor-moderated discussion in the journal Groundwater.
Navid Ahmadi visit us!
Welcome to our guest Navid from Darmstadt Technical Univeristy! He will stay for 4 months. We wish him a good time!
New publication
In our last communication, we model vadose zone hydrological processes in naturally occurring piezometric depressions such as those found in the Chari-Baguirmi (Lake Chad Basin). This has been published in Environmental Earth Sciences and is the result of an international collaboration that includes the World Bank.
In the great outdoors – GLOBE MAGAZINE
In our field course, ETH students are mapping the groundwater in an area of forest near Bern. This fieldwork gives them the skills they need for a career in environmental engineering. https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2023/09/in-the-great-outdoors.html
