B.Sc(Hons) in physics, University of Edinburgh; MS in oceanography, University of Alaska; Ph.D in limnology, University of Zurich.
Physical limnologist with over 20 years of experience in physical oceanography and physical limnology. Main activities centre on lake physics, especially air-water interaction and the climatic control of physical lake processes. Publications include work on rotary spectral analysis, the modelling of lake heat balances, the non-linear influence of wind speed on air-water gas exchange, hypolimnetic oxygen depletion, the effects of climate change on lake temperatures and the evaluation of lake break-up dates as proxy air temperature data. Currently working on the effects of climate change on lake systems. Involvement in other EC projects: MOLAR (1996-99) and REFLECT (1998-2000; Swiss project leader). |

Tasks:
EAWAG co-ordinates the measurement of temperature
profiles lake surface water temperatures in co-operation with the
regional site operators. EAWAG acts as the central data
collection point for all miniature thermistor data, and
conducts an analysis of the lake surface water temperature data with
regard to "regionalisation". EAWAG functions as the central
data collection point for the EMERGE Automatic Weather Station data
and analyses a relevant subset of the LAG historical ice
observation dataset to determine the regional responses of lake
freeze-up/break-up dates to climatic forcing on various spatial
scales and on a time-scale of several decades. EAWAG assumes
responsibility for the development of an ice module to add to their
already functioning physical lake model, and calibrates,
validates and applies this model in one EMERGE region. EAWAG
instructs the other partners in the use of the model. to facilitate
application in other Lake Districts. EAWAG is responsible for
running high-resolution particle flux studies at 2-3 key EMERGE
sites, based on data obtained from sequential and open sediment
traps installed at these sites. It is also responsible for the
purchase of the sequential traps, for the construction of the open
traps and for the purchase of any additional equipment (buoys,
ropes etc.) necessary for the installation of the trap
moorings. EAWAG is responsible for the particle analysis
(including grain size determination and mineralogy) of the
recovered trap material for those sites where the site operators
would not otherwise have access to the necessary equipment. EMERGE
is received added value from links to the Swiss National Science
Foundation/Priority Program Climate in Alpine Regions - CLEAR,
particularly the component project "Lake sediments as
proxy-archives for the reconstruction of environmental dynamics in
space and time: A quantitative reconstruction in the Alps
(AQUAREAL)" co-ordinated at EAWAG.
