Our presentation reviews findings from the Stimson Center’s ongoing work to build multimodal systems for multi-hazard monitoring in the Nepal Himalayas, 2023-2025.
Seasonality and Albedo Dependence of Cloud Radiative Forcing in the Upper Colorado River Basin
Clouds can increase or decrease available net radiation at the Earth surface. We quantify the radiative forcing by clouds using ground based observations for an intensively monitored mountain site.
The Bison Monitoring Study – From Reintroduction to Reconciliation to Resilience.
Plains Bison have been reintroduced to Banff National Park and the Stoney Nakoda will be conducting a “Cultural Monitoring” study of the Bison herd, in the next 3 years.
Advancing risk management in winter outdoor recreation and tourism through long-term visitor and avalanche hazard monitoring – a case study of the Tatra Mountains, Poland
Our study aims to advance risk management in winter nature-based mountain recreation and tourism through long-term visitor and avalanche hazard monitoring.
Academic networks as boundary organizations: pollinators for transformative change in mountain regions
The talk introduces the concept of boundary organizations as pollinators for transformative change in mountain regions through a concrete example of the Himalayan University Consortium.
Identification of changes in the snow accumulation area of the drainage basins of rivers Santa and Vilcanota, Peru
The decrease in snow cover area, snowfall, and air temperature increases in the Cordillera Blanca indicate risks to the socio-cryosphere culture in high Andes rural communities.
Time of haymaking – challenges in the operation of a social-ecological system in the Eastern Carpathians, Romania
Examining land use can bring us closer to understanding, as studying land-use practices provides a great insight into the complexity of interactions between social and ecological components of systems
The Mountain Legacy Voices Project: Past and present mountain voices speak to the future
Introducing the Mountain Voices project, a tribute to the mountains of western Canada connecting extensive mountain archival imagery with a diverse range of personal mountain interactions.
Pattern in alpine summit vegetation in the Northern Alps (Nationalpark Berchtesgaden, Germany) explained by variation in microclimate, soil temp and soil moisture
First time comparison of GeoPrecision versus TOMST data logging for assessing GLORIA summit microclimate.
