It is with great pleasure that we welcome Dr. Qi Tang  back in our team. She now has the role of senior scientist in the SNSF BRIDGE Discovery project Integrated Hydrological Modelling for Operational Forecasting and Decision-making, and is continuing to act as the national coordinator of the Water-Earth Systems PhD School

See our new perspectives article on Mountain-Cryospehre-Groundwater interactions in Nature Water. The article is the culmination of a fantastic workshop and initiative by the three lead authors and the Mountain Research Insititute MRI.

The hydrogeology research group is currently editing a special edition in Frontiers in Water on “Advances in Integrated Surface—Subsurface Hydrological Modeling”, together with Prof. Matteo Camporese of Uni Padova and Prof. Hoori Ajami of UC Riverside. The submission window is now open and we invite relevant contributions to the topic.”
