Connectivity at transitions of local river widenings
This research project aims at investigating geometries and construction methods of transitions of local river widenings to identify how these zones can be designed to actively promote connectivity.

Coordinated habitat connectivity in river systems using metapopulation modeling
With this project we want to build and validate a metapopulation model for brown trout assessing local renaturation measures in a Swiss river network.

Bedload transport continuity through large river widenings
This work aims at assessing the impact of river widenings on the downstream sediment supply during different phases of widening development.

Eco-morphological assessment of sediment augmentation in gravel-bed rivers
This project focuses on the bedload transport dynamics and the morphological evolution. It aims at assessing the impact of augmentation measures in river restauration.

Clogging of riverbed substrates by fine sediments
This project focuses on the increase of fine sediment yields in rivers and the impact of clogging on river ecosystems. It aims at assessing the influence of surface and infiltration flows.
