Professor Thomas Dunne is an expert of fluvial geomorphology and hydrology, working at the University of California, where he is currently conducting his own research in theoretical studies in hillslope evolution, and sediment transport and river-basin sediment budgets.

Understanding water resource systems from Wissenschaftsfonds FWF on Vimeo.

In October Geophysics students from TU Wien were operating electromagnetic induction (EMI) measurements at the HOAL. Two devices with a shallow and a deep range of the signal have been used. There were several profiles on the different fields in the HOAL measured and georeferenced.

The goal is to…

For getting information about groundwater new piezometer stations are built. In this case the stations will be used for tracer tests.

Considering building these stations, soil samples were taken for soil characteristics and isotope analyses.

The doctoral students of the Vienna Doctoral Programme on Water Resource Systems, are currently installing the temporal soil net again at the HOAL fields. The soil net sensors had to be removed from the fields for a short period due to the farmes were cultivating the fields for the next season.

The…

Today Borbala Szeles, student from the DK on water resource systems, is in the HOAL fields to collect data from the mobile eddy covariance stations and to do some maintenance works.

Even if less evapotranspiration is happening in this time of the year the devices are running the whole time to…

Today again Lovrenc Pavlin and Markus Oismüller were operating the groundwater sampling at the groundwater wells from the deep boreholes in the HOAL catchment. In an interval of 2 months this sampling is taking place in the HOAL at the 8 deep wells in the catchment.

The samples are analysed for…

The temporal soil net is currently prepared and checked for the next installation in the HOAL fields.

As soon as the farmers will be finished with the tillage of their land the 11 temporal soil net stations will in addition with the 20 permanent stations measure the soil moisture in the HOAL in 4…

Recently the homepage of the European network of hydrological observatories - short 'ENOHA' was launched. The aims of ENOHA are to create a network of well-instrumented and monitored hydrological observatories and to ensure a close cooperation between several European research institutions. The…

Recently Lovrenc Pavlin, new doctoral student from Slovenia in our DK programme, was operating a sampling from the groundwater wells from the deep boreholes in the HOAL catchment.

In total at 6 wells samples have been taken which will be analysed for chemical parameters but also for stable isotopes…
