Like much of Europe, Winterthur experienced hot weather during the summer of 2026. During heatwaves, however, nighttime temperatures are just as important as daytime temperatures. When the air stays warm throughout the night, people have fewer opportunities to recover from the heat of the day. To investigate nighttime temperatures in more detail, we measured four […]
If you stepped outside last week, you didn’t need a thermometer to tell you that summer had arrived. At the end of June, Switzerland experienced a historic heatwave, with over 40 meteorological stations across the country recording new temperature records for the month. Maximum daytime temperatures exceeded 38°C at several locations, and many regions experienced […]
In research, results are usually shared through papers, posters, or presentations. What often remains unseen is the extensive preparation behind an emissions measurement campaign. For our current project ADVISAR (ADdressing feasibility studies toward cleaner aVIation and environmental impacts research with SAf on unRegulated engines), we conducted emissions measurements with two different fuels at Stans Airport […]
METENVIA thanks all collaborators for their great work in 2025 and looks forward to working together in 2026. Some highlights from our group to look out for in 2026: Schlagwörter: happy new year, metenvia
How does borosilicate glass, the material used to lock away high-level radioactive waste, hold up after not just months, but decades in water? Our new study, led by the University of Montpellier and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA, Marcoule) tracks a simplified glass (CJ2) from 7 days to 27 years and […]
Earlier on this blog, I introduced the objectives and planned methodology for our project on soot-vapor interactions in jet engine exhaust, which forms a core part of my Ph.D. work at METENIA and ETH. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to present some of our first experimental findings at EGU25 (European Geosciences Union General Assembly […]
