Competences
Planetary-Scale Remote Sensing
Sound water resources planning and management require adequate data with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution. Free satellite data at a high spatial and temporal resolution has been a changemaker in many fields of water resources management.
Non-Traditional Monitoring
Non-traditional monitoring via local involvement has experienced a renaissance with the utilization of new, high-tech and state-of-the-art data acquisition technologies. We have extensive experience in developing and implementing crowd-sensing campaigns.
Hydrological Modeling
We cover the complete spectrum of hydrological modeling, including physically-based and empirical modeling approaches.
Flood Modeling & Hazard Mapping
Floods are a common risk in Switzerland and many areas worldwide. The estimations of flood magnitudes and return periods are an important issue for local water resources and risk management.
Climate Change & Impacts
Climate change poses substantial future risks to societies and ecosystems alike. With higher intensity weather and climate extremes and changes in their duration, impacts on water resources need to be well understood.
Integrated Resources Management
IWRM is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources, to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare equitably without impairing ecosystems. We support IWRM in a holistic manner.
Web Applications
Leveraging the power of cloud computation and planetary-scale remote sensing analysis, we provide custom-made tailored web applications for the long-term monitoring and analysis of changes of the land surface.
