Mountain tourism has evolved significantly, with increased crowding of Alpine huts. How this shift impacts the management of various type of alpine huts, especially concerning food waste.
Assessment of the elevation-dependent climate change in the Extended European Alpine Region over 1961-2020 based on the EEAR-Clim dataset
Assessment of the elevation-dependent climate change for key-climate variables in the Extended European Alpine Region over 1961-2020 based on the EEAR-Clim dataset
Land management paths for increasing the resilience of alpine farming in the Eisenwurzen region
The aim of this analysis is to align alpine farming practices with societal preferences to increase the output for farming and nature. We combine methods of participatory and econometric methods.
Mapping of Landscape Changes in Hohe Tauern National Park using the CC-HABITALP Method
This project addresses the gap in studying landscape changes in alpine habitats by using the CC-HABITALP method to identify key ecological processes in Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria.
Integrating ASTER Multi-Decadal Geodetic Data with MODIS Annual Glacier-wide Albedo Measurements for Annual Glacier Mass Balance Estimation
This study presents a new method to integrate ASTER multi-decadal geodetic data with MODIS annual glacier-wide albedo measurements to estimate annual glacier mass balance on a regional scale
Mountains Through Time: Genetic Shifts in Alpine Flora Under Climate Change
This study uses herbarium genomics to assess climate change-driven genetic diversity loss in alpine plants, revealing adaptation patterns and informing conservation strategies for vulnerable species.
Existing observations and new transects for elevation-dependent climate change detection in the Pyrenees
As part of the LIFE-SIP project Pyrenees4Clima (2024–2032), detection and analysis of Elevation-Dependent Climate Change will be carried out via existing data and new elevational transects.
How to model crevasse initiation ? Lessons from the artificial drainage of a water-filled cavity on the Tête Rousse Glacier (Mont Blanc, range, France)
We investigate crevasse initiation on Tête Rousse Glacier using the numerical model Elmer/Ice, comparing simulated stress to observed crevasses after the artificial drainage of a water-filled cavity.
Development of a Recreational Activity Plan for Protected Natural Areas: A Case Study of Tunkinsky National Park
Tunkinsky National Park, part of the Baikal UNESCO World Heritage Site, develops a Recreational Activity Plan to balance tourism growth and conservation efforts, ensuring sustainable land management.
Towards automated vision-based monitoring of insects in high temporal resolution – a pilot project in the Swiss Alps.
We present a novel method using automatic insect cameras to monitor abundance, biomass, and taxonomic composition of insects and their temporal dynamics along elevational gradients in the Swiss Alps.
