The Rocky Mountains played a key role in the initial peopling. New Clovis-era findings in Colorado highlight the importance of collaborating with landowners to uncover rare archaeological evidence.
Australian alpine plant responses to the experimental drought in-situ
We studied alpine plant responses to experimental drought in the Australian Alps and found species-specific responses to drought, significantly impacting above ground growth and community dynamics.

Marked trails and forest exploitation
Climate changes have a lot of direct and indirect impacts on marked trails in Europe. An agreement should be reached if this concerns several different stakeholders.
Expanding Intercultural Competence: Studying Abroad and the Power of Mountain Connections
This presentation will examine mountains as a pedagogical site for fostering intercultural learning among domestic and international students.
Climate Variability and their implication on Kenyas Mt Elgon Grassland
Mt Elgon ecosystem has expansive areas of grasslands that support community livelihoods. Variability in precipitation is the major determinants of changes in size of land under these grasslands
Mountain microadventures: A tool to build place attachment and more sustainable travel
This session explores how the use of microadventures in a university course can enhance sustainable adventure tourism education.
Streamflow generation and wetland sustenance in the High and Dry Andes: The role of permafrost and high elevation cryosphere moisture sources
Perennially flowing low elevation streams is predominantly derived from strongly seasonal high elevation precipitation in the glacier-free high and dry Andes (Puna-Altiplano).
Soil fauna on mountaintops: the ‘GLORIA Extended’ samplings in South Tyrol (Italy)
Here we present first results of (high) alpine soil fauna communities living on mountain tops of South Tyrol (Italy).
Sustainability Assessment of Mountain Huts: a GIS-based Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis
This study applies a GIS-MCDM framework to assess the environmental sustainability of a group of mountain huts in Trentino (Italy) focusing on operational equipment, accessibility and water resources.
