As seasonal forecasting is currently of great interest we investigate in this study the potential for winter season natural hazard forecasting as well as the potential for water resource management.
Diversity Assessment and Foraging Behavior of Bumblebees in Uttarakhand, Western Himalayas
Global climate change and urbanization is posing a serious threat to bumblebees,one of the significant pollinators of high altitude regions and desperate measures are needed for their conservation.
A High-Impact Precipitation Event database for the Alps (1961-2023)
We developed a high-impact precipitation event (HIPE) database for the Alps (1961–2023), integrating precipitation records, flood impact data, and atmospheric patterns to improve risk assessment.
Community Vulnerability to Changing Mountain Snowpacks in Canada
This presentation examines how two mountain communities located in the Robson Valley, B.C., Canada, are experiencing and responding to changes in mountain snowpack and freshwater availability.
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
Producing emergent snowcover behaviours using re-analysis forcing data
the multiscale Canadian Hydrological Model (CHM) is driven with ERA5-land (global) and the Canadian Surface reanalysis (CaSR; North America) reanalysis at a snowdrift permœitting resolution
ENSO diversity regulation of the impact of MJO on extreme snowfall events in the Peruvian Andes
The combined effect of MJO and ENSO may trigger extreme snowfall episodes over the Peruvian Andes during the austral summer and winter. ERA5 reanalysis cannot reproduce all snowfall episodes.
Evaluation and Correction of Precipitation Types measure by PARSIVEL2 Disdrometer in a Tropical Glacier Environment
The correction of precipitation considering the types of hydrometeors and the limit determination of the optical disdrometer to classify precipitation types in the Huaytapallana tropical glacier
An overview of climate-growth response of multiple tree species from Nepal Himalaya
Climate change is impacting growth and their climate sensitivity of diverse tree species in Central Himalaya region. Favorable Spring Season climate is very crucial for growth of trees.
Forest Fire Risks in Changing Climate over the Southern Slope of Himalayas
Southern Himalayas are experiencing prolonged winter droughts, escalating risks of forest fires. Climate models project worsening drought and wildfire trends under a warming climate.
