Welcome on Patrick Schleppi's home
page.
You can find here some links about my different activities and
interests. |
| my education |
i got my degree in agronomy in 1985 at the
ETH Zurich, where i also made
my doctoral thesis (at the institute of plant
sciences, 1998); then i was one year at
the ISU (Ames, IA, USA)
for a post-doc; 1993, in parallel to my job, i followed a post-graduate course
in applied statistics at the ETHZ |
| my job |
research in forest ecology, since 1992 at the
Swiss federal institute for forest,
snow and landscape research (WSL) at Birmensdorf, near Zurich |
| my research projects |
- research about the effects of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on
ecosystems in the
Alptal
valley; these experiments are currently integrated in the
NitroEurope project and are also the basis
of a project within the COST Action FP0601
(Forman)
- a project on interactions between
CO2 &
N
- some methodological work on experimental headwater catchments and on
optical analysis of forest canopies, as well as a participation to a few
further
projects
|
| the results |
- see my publication
list...
- a software to analyse hemispherical photographs (calculation of the leaf
area index of forests): the programme
Hemisfer
|
| sport and leisure |
- my favorite sport is cycling!
- every spring, now since a few years, i'm bringing together a team (or two)
of 14 people from our institute to participate to a relay race
around Zurich: the SOLA; we are the
'Forest
and Snow Hares'
- i'm depending on the weather for all my outdoor activities - work, sports
or leisure; i therefore designed a page gathering information from different
sources about the weather
