Nora Richter joined the #Eawag Surface Waters Department as an Ambizione research group leader in 2024. With her Organic #Geochemistry group, she investigates how #lakeecosystems change over centuries and millennia – and what we can learn from this for the future.

How do geological map details influence the identification of geology-streamflow relationships in large-sample hydrology studies? Abstract. Large-sample hydrology datasets have advanced hydrological research, yet the impact of landscape map details on identifying dominant streamflow generation processes remains underexplored. Th...

How much water is left for nature? – The search for the appropriate environmental flow After water is diverted for hydropower, rivers are often left with very little streamflow for nature. A new report provides an overview.

In many rivers, only a small amount of streamflow remains for nature after water is diverted for hydropower production. This is having consequences. Researchers from @wslresearch.bsky.social , #UZH and #Eawag have compiled an interdisciplinary overview
