once sober shelter, mountain hut becomes an emotional place, a place where customers go for increasingly constructed and expensive experiences with impact on the surrounding environment
Biotic and abiotic constraints of Scots pine and mountain birch seedlings on the treeline ecotone of subarctic Finnish Lapland
The study explores biotic and abiotic factors affecting Scots pine and mountain birch seedling growth and abundance in Finnish subarctic.
Integrating remote sensing and ground-based observations for glacier melt modeling in remote high-altitude regions
We applie an enhanced T-index melt model to Passu Glacier, integrating remote sensing, in situ AWS, and ablation stake data to improve radiative flux estimation and glacier melt distribution in 2023.
Ask those who feel it & teach Indigenous and local knowledge on climate risks in mountains
We present interactive ways of teaching Indigenous and local knowledge in a mountain risk context, with a proposal to engage across disciplines among academics active in teaching.

Core or Periphery? Human utilization of the Kashmir Himalayas from Antiquity to Early-Historic period
Contrary to the perception of an isolated periphery, the Kashmir Himalayas thrived as a dynamic hub, fostering the exchange of people, goods, and ideas from pre-history to historic times.
Unraveling the post-abandonment trajectory, drivers, and ecosystem (dis)services following farmland abandonment: a systematic review from the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) Region
