FUTURE HYDRO-ECOLOGICAL TRENDS IN ALPINE STREAMS

WHAT? Characterization of the different  sources of runoff to estimate future hydro-ecological scenario at all three sites 

HOW? Calibration and validation of a parsimonious lumped parameter rainfall-runoff model; application of the model to explore runoff scenarios based on alteration of ice and snow cover as well as precipitation and temperature trends; produce a numerical and conceptual modelling of trace element origin and fate in the abiotic and biotic compartment of deglaciating Alpine catchments.
