Towards co-produced water management pathways to counteract deteriorating mountain water quality in the deglaciating Andes of Peru
We showcase the deglaciating Negro river catchment in Peru to disentangle the complex interactions between glacier retreat and changes in water quality in the context of long-term human health.
Addressing the twin crisis of biodiversity loss and climate change through large mountainscape conservation
This talk presents approaches to tackling the ‘twin crisis’ of biodiversity loss and climate change from North America’s Yellowstone to Yukon region.
Mapping Vertical Urbanisms: A Spatial Analytics Approach to Defining Mountain Accessibility
This project introduces a terrain-sensitive urban analytics tool that redefines accessibility in mountain cities, addressing topographic, infrastructural, and seasonal constraints while enabling cross
Snow-eater heatwaves of western North America
Snow-eater heatwaves have been less studied than rain-on-snow events, yet have the potential to increase in area, duration, frequency, and/or intensity in a rapidly changing climate.
Inferring precipitation information from multi-year aerial snow depth observations to improve input quality to a snow energy balance model
This work evaluates using snow distribution maps to inform precipitation input of a spatially distributed snow energy balance model to improve simulated snow depth across snow seasons.
Using digital technologies for the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation: The Glaciar app.
We are currently developing an app for the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation, that focuses on a citizen science approach to monitoring of climate change in glaciers and mountain areas.
Introducing Sentinel-1 SAR wet snow maps for glaciohydrological model calibration in the Himalaya-Karakoram
Present study demonstrates the use of Sentinel-1 SAR wet snow maps for calibrating the glaciohydrological model parameters for improving runoff estimates in data-scarce glacierized catchments.
Towards a plan of regenerative cattle ranching as a strategy of biodiversity and cultural heritage conservation in the Glaciers of Santiago National Park, Chile.
Since the recent creation of a new national park, a regenerative livestock plan adapted to traditional transhumance was requested by local communities to ensure the rights of use of pastoralists.
