High mountain lakes are vulnerable to environmental stressors, such as the deposition of pollutants and climate change. Long-term ecological monitoring is fundamental to assess these impacts
Scaling-up diffusion of e-cooking solutions for businesses in mountain regions: A crucial component of Nepal’s energy transition
This study explores e-cooking adoption in rural Nepal’s SMEs, evaluating user acceptance, efficiency, and market fit through demonstrations and field testing to support Nepal’s clean energy transition
Bringing together students and researchers from Greenland and Austria: A transdisciplinary citizen science project on snow and environmental change
This presentation provides an overview of the Snow2School citizen science project, bridging different epistemologies and cultural contexts, and the challenges and opportunities it entails.
Cascading downstream impacts of climate change in the world’s water towers
We review how climate change impacts in the world’s “water towers” cascade through interconnected mountain-lowland systems, emphasizing the need for a holistic understanding of these dynamics.
Responses of montane conifers to drought stress: unravelling metabolic pathways of adaptation
Species-specific metabolic responses to drought in conifers reveal biochemical mechanisms via targeted and untargeted analyses of metabolites, hormones, antioxidants and lipid peroxidation products.
A 500-year climate-vegetation cycle recorded in mountainous northeast Asia over the past 20,000 years
This study reveals a stable 500-year climate-vegetation-human cycle in Northeast Asia over the past 20,000 years, driven by monsoon intensity, vegetation shifts, and prehistoric cultural development.
Responses of montane conifers to drought stress: unravelling metabolic pathways of adaptation
Species-specific metabolic responses to drought in conifers reveal biochemical mechanisms via targeted and untargeted analyses of metabolites, hormones, antioxidants and lipid peroxidation products.
Four decades of soil temperatures to map microhabitats across the European Alps
To understand alpine warming as the organisms have experienced it, we mechanistically modelled microclimate for the European Alps across four decades, and identified thermally distinct microhabitats.
Bridging the local-global gap: Strategic embedding in the Alpine wool sector
Our research examines the impact of globalization on the Alpine wool industry, focusing on regional networks, strategic embeddedness, and how local value creation can persist despite global shifts.
The contribution of the vegetation to the resilience of farms in the face of climate change: a case study of agro-pastoral transhumant systems in the French Alps
This study explores how transhumant sheep farms in the French Alps build resilience to climate change. It highlights key aspects of vegetation-based strategies according to farms’ mobility patterns
