1. Dynamic streams in a pre-alpine catchment
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : This thesis aims to investigate the factors controlling the dynamics of temporary streams, i.e., streams that do not flow throughout the year. Temporary stream hydrology is a relative unexplored scientific field. READ MORE

2. Dynamics of streamflow and stream chemistry in a Swiss pre-Alpine headwater catchment : A fine scale investigation of flow occurrence and electrical conductivity in the temporary streams in the lower Studibach catchment
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Temporary streams and their dynamics have often been largely overseen in hydrological research and there is relatively little knowledge about how the occurrence of flow in these streams varies temporally and spatially. Temporary streams are important from a hydro- logical perspective because they affect water quantity and quality in downstream peren- nial reaches, and from an ecological perspective because they provide habitat to unique species.

3. The Origin of Streams : Stream cartography in Swiss pre alpine headwater
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Temporary streams have received undeservedly little scientific attention and as a result their role in hydrological, biogeochemical and ecological processes is not yet fully understood. The ultimate goal of the research was to gain a better understanding of the temporary stream network and the processes that control it and determine how the active and connected stream length change with catchment wetness conditions to find simple methods to map seasonal and event-based changes in temporary flowing stream networks.

4. Modelling of carbamazepine and diclofenac in a river network : photolytic degradation in Swiss rivers
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and AssessmentAbstract : Micropollutants from urban or agricultural sources, for example pharmaceuticals or pesticides, are facing increasing public awareness. In the last years, many studies reported on the occurrence of micropollutions in different water samples, including drinking waters. READ MORE
