Modeling shows with +1.5°C, 2.7% of Ötztal/Stubaital glacier volume remains by 2100. With +2°C, this volume is reached 30 years earlier, leading to near-total loss by 2100.
Integrating hydrological, sediment dynamics and geomorphic assessments for sustainable floodplain management in the Camarones River Basin (Colombia)
This study examines sediment dynamics in tropical regions, focusing on upstream and downstream implications for floodplain management and climate change impacts on ecosystems.
Pictorial sources in glaciology: from the icy splendour of the Little Ice Age to the melting glaciers of today
Our interdisciplinary approach examines the historical attention by naturalists to glaciers and their visual representation. Historical images are systematically analysed to reconstruct past glaciers.
From Science to Action: Strengthening Policy and Governance for Sustainable Himalayan Ecosystems
Bridging science, policy, and governance can drive transformative action for resilient Himalayan ecosystems, ensuring sustainable forest management and climate adaptation.
What will alpine grassland look like at the end of the 21st century?
Root growth responses in alpine grassland to summer drought depend on its duration. The long winters contribute to root losses in combination with severe drought in the preceding growing season.
Nexus of Science and Society in Risk Perception: Lessons from the 2012 Seti River Flash Flood in Nepal
This study explores integrating western science and local knowledge to understand flood risks, using Nepal’s 2012 Seti River flood as a case study, advocating for interdisciplinary approaches
Adapting the open-source model com4FlowPy for regional-scale modeling of forests with a direct object-protective function against gravitational mass flows
We introduce the open-source GMF runout model com4FlowPy and its “back-tracking” functionality, which can be used for regional-scale modeling of forests with a direct object-protective function.
Integrating Drone-based Ground Penetrating Radar and Thermal Infrared Imaging to Study Debris-Covered Glaciers
This presentation will discuss a novel technique for measuring glacier debris thickness using the combination of drone-based ground-penetrating radar and thermal infrared imaging.
Social Cohesion Structures and the Tonari Gumi System in Tadami, Japan
This study explores the cultural expressions of social cohesion identified in Tadami, and their contribution to community resilience to natural hazards, climate change and rural outmigration.
Fertilization modified hydraulics and growth of seedlings of three European tree species under drought
The combination of fertilization and drought reduced root biomass and impaired water transport, leading to increased mortality in European beech and Scots pine, while European oak was little affected.
