Drawing on the ethnographic and spatial methodologies, we focus on the indigenous communities’ resistance, and its slow fragmentation, to a mining project expressed though an indigenous festival.
The International Festival of Mountaineering Literature 1987-2008, UK
It featured new books and commissioned new writing, always including women writers, poetry, music and song, curated as a conversation with the audience.
Future Conflicts on the Horizon: Anthropogenic Pressure May Drive Himalayan Bears into Human Habitation in the Greater Himalayas
Present study provided the intricate ecology of Himalayan bears which may came into the intensive conflict with humans because of the increasing anthropogenic stress in their habitat.
Future Conflicts on the Horizon: Anthropogenic Pressure May Drive Himalayan Bears into Human Habitation in the Greater Himalayas
Mountain-top bird species face extreme conditions, shaping breeding site selection. We monitored alpine nests in temperate Andes. Rock cavities buffer temperatures, potentially enhancing breeding success and adaptation to harsh weather
Forest maturation and its drivers on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau
Forests on the Tibetan Plateau tended to mature during the past 50 years, and climate change exerted more impacts after 1998.
Five years of a multi-taxon biodiversity monitoring in an Alpine region: lessons learned, and results obtained
Since 2019, Biodiversity Monitoring South Tyrol has been surveying species groups sensitive to climate and land-use change. The results and technological innovations in monitoring are discussed.
Climate Change and Increasing Anthropogenic Pressure: Impact on Biodiversity and Stability of the Western Ghats Mountain Ecosystem
This study focuses on the impact of climate change and environmental degradation on the stability and biodiversity of the Western Ghats Mountain and its forests and analyses the related policies.
Bedload transport capacity evolution under climate change in Alpine catchments
In glacierized catchments, bedload transport capacity is controlled by snow- and icemelt water. We estimate here the evolution of maximum bedload volumes under the action of climate change.
Validation of ICON-LES from HEFEX II field campaign observations
Data from HEFEXII (2023) campaign validated high-res ICON-LES models, improving simulation accuracy of atmosphere-glacier interactions. Results outline strengths and limitations of numerical modeling.
Precipitation and a Central Asian HydroClimate Research Project under the GEWEX Umbrella
Regional Hydroclimate Projects are addressing the observation, modeling and prediction of precipitation in mountainous regions.
