We blur the distinction between local and scientific knowledge, unveiling shared characteristics by these systems. Local knowledge is open, dynamic, and hybrid as it synthesizes Western science
Spatial and Temporal variability of Extreme Precipitation Events (EPEs) and their future projection over the Himalayan Ganga Basin (HGB)
Intensifying extreme precipitation events in the Himalayas, driven by climate change, project more frequent extreme 1day and 5day rainfall. These trends highlight the urgent need for climate-resilient
Bird taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic distributions across elevational gradients in the temperate Andes.
Bird diversity components are positively correlated. Diversity shifts with the treeline, with higher species turnover above it. Highlights comprehensive approaches to mountain bird conservation.
Glacier and climate real-time monitoring with 3g/4g and satellite devices
Design of a system for real-time visualization of glacier pictures, air temperature and relative humidity, GNSS position via 3g/4g communication networks or via satellite links.
Lags and non-linearities in climate change impacts on alpine plants and vegetation, as revealed by whole-community transplant experiments
Whole-community transplant experiments reveal processes underlying lagged plant and community responses to climate change.
A socio-hydrological analysis of the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems Nexus in a mountain catchment in Northern Italy
A mixed method approach is used to explore socio-hydrological conditions of water scarcity. It quantifies trade-offs between water dependent sectors and identifies possible systemic solutions.
“Forest Fire Risk and Rural Out-Migration: A Case Study of the Himalayan Ganga Basin (HGB), Central Himalaya”
This study examines spatiotemporal forest fire trends, risk zones and identifies rural out-migration as a key driver of forest fire in the Himalayan Ganga Basin.
Sustainable Synergy and Grounded Imaginaries: A Case Study of Dhaji Diwari Method in Himachal Pradesh
This paper explores integrating traditional Dhajji Diwari techniques with contemporary engineering in sustainable housing, emphasizing community agency and context-specific solutions for resilience.
Geospatial Modelling of Landslide Susceptibility in the Himalayas: A Comparative Analysis of EBF, FR and Shannon Entropy Models
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
