dynamics, structure and processes. While there is evidence that water temperature changes, knowledge is still limited to seasonal or annual estimates. Georg Niedrist, from the University of

Innsbruck in Austria, analysed 40 years of fine-scale observational data to quantify overall warming and the month-specific changes of mean, minimum and maximum temperatures of two

inner-alpine rivers in the European Alps. These included: a larger river, Inn, with input of glacial meltwater, and the river Grossache, draining smaller catchments without glaciers and
