Identifying and quantifying unexpected deep zooplankton diel vertical migration in a large deep lake

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Htet Kyi Wynn, Valentin Kindschi, Rafael Sebastian Reiss, Violaine Florette Piton

Diel Vertical Migration (DVM), a widespread zooplankton behavior in freshwater and marine systems, affects ecological interactions and biogeochemical cycles. In lakes, DVM has mainly been studied in the upper 50 m of the water column. However, based on aco ...

Transmission dynamics of Norovirus GII and Enterovirus in Switzerland during the COVID-19 pandemic (2021-2022) as evidenced in wastewater

Tamar Kohn, Htet Kyi Wynn, Timothy R. Julian, Shotaro Torii

Noroviruses and enteroviruses are major causes of endemic gastrointestinal disease associated with substantial disease burden. However, viral gastroenteritis is often diagnosed based on symptoms, with etiology infrequently tested or reported, so little inf ...

Stability of influenza A virus in droplets and aerosols is heightened by the presence of commensal respiratory bacteria

Tamar Kohn, Htet Kyi Wynn, Céline Terrettaz, Aline Laetitia Schaub, Athanasios Nenes, Kalliopi Violaki, Marta Augugliaro, Shannon Christa David, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Walter Hugentobler, Laura José Costa Henriques, Daniel Scott Nolan

Aerosol transmission remains a major challenge for control of respiratory viruses, particularly those causing recurrent epidemics, like influenza A virus (IAV). These viruses are rarely expelled alone, but instead are embedded in a consortium of microorgan ...

From Particles to Flocs: Revealing Where Flocculation Occurs in the Nearfield of a Negatively-Buoyant River Plume in a Large Lake (Lake Geneva)

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Htet Kyi Wynn, Valentin Kindschi, Violaine Florette Piton

The dynamics of sediments entering lakes in river plumes is virtually unknown. This field study provides unprecedented evidence of the initiation and evolution of suspended sediment flocculation in the nearfield of the negatively-buoyant Rh & ocirc;ne Rive ...

Tracing Unconfined Nearfield Spreading of a River Plume Interflow in a Large Lake (Lake Geneva): Hydrodynamics, Suspended Particulate Matter, and Associated Fluxes

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Htet Kyi Wynn, Benjamin Daniel Graf, Frédéric Charles Soulignac, Violaine Florette Piton

River inflows have a major influence on lake water quality due to their input of sediments, nutrients and contaminants. After leaving the river channel, river waters form a plume and interact with ambient lake waters. Strong hydrodynamic changes take place ...

Rapid changes in river plume dynamics caused by advected wind-driven coastal upwelling as observed in Lake Geneva

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Htet Kyi Wynn, Benjamin Daniel Graf, Frédéric Charles Soulignac, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari

Based on field investigations carried out in Lake Geneva during summer stratification in 2019, this study documents, for the first time, the rapid change of negatively buoyant river inflow dynamics caused by the passing of a coastal upwelling. Under calm c ...

A low-cost, autonomous mobile platform for limnological investigations, supported by high-resolution mesoscale airborne imagery

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Anton Ivanov, Htet Kyi Wynn, Jérôme Béguin, Ludovic Zulliger, Nawaaz Sidharth Gujja Shaik, Jean-Luc Liardon, Philippe Olivier Paccaud, Beat Marcel Geissmann, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi, Pascal Klaus, Stepan Tulyakov

Two complementary measurement systems – built upon an autonomous floating craft and a tethered balloon – for lake research and monitoring are presented. The autonomous vehicle was assembled on a catamaran for stability, and is capable of handling a variety ...

Substance flow analysis as a tool for mitigating the impact of pharmaceuticals on the aquatic system

Luca Rossi, Jonas Margot, Htet Kyi Wynn, Sylvain Coutu

Pharmaceuticals constitute an important environmental issue for receiving waters. A holistic approach, taking into consideration the sources of these compounds (hospitals, domestic use), discharges (wastewater effluent, combined sewer overflows) and relate ...

Temporal dynamics of antibiotics in wastewater treatment plant influent

Luca Rossi, David Andrew Barry, Htet Kyi Wynn, Sylvain Coutu, Vera Wyrsch

A yearlong field experimental campaign was conducted to reveal time scales over which antibiotic fluxes vary in the influent of a wastewater treatment plant (WTP). In particular, sampling was carried out to ascertain the amplitudes of monthly, daily and ho ...
