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
Case study: Monitoring snout fluctuation and accelerating retreat of Passu Glacier in Hunza River Basin, Pakistan
This research examines Passu Glacier’s retreat from 2011-2024 using satellite images and field surveys, highlighting accelerated melting and retreat, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring.
Conservation Practices of Indigenous Seeds through Community Participation in the Rural Areas of Garhwal Himalaya Uttarakhand, India
Mountain agro ecosystems are generally a conventional form of terrace farming that involves internal nutrient flows and recycling in the cultivated lands.
Warming-Driven Enhanced Glacial Melt Fuels Trace Metal Mobilization from Mountain Glaciers and Ice Sheets
This study reveals higher trace element mobility in mountain glaciers, particularly beneficial micronutrients like zinc, but also raises concerns about potential metal contamination downstream.

Modelling the impact of mining activities on the dynamics and evolution of a Kyrgyz glacier
We analyse how gold mining operations shortened Davydov Glacier by 2 km, reducing its volume by 160 million m³, and model its future evolution under both mining and no-mining scenarios.
Investigation of aerosol effects on diurnal cycle of precipitation amount, frequency and intensity over Central Africa by a regional clumate model.
RegCM5 model shows that the forcing of aerosols in solar radiation as well as in latent heat flux leads to the changes in the amplitude of the precipitation amount during the DJF and JAS.
