This paper highlights how community relationships with archaeological sites and their landscapes in Huaylas, Peru shape resilience to disaster and climate change through storytelling, and place-making
A dual system of knowledge and information for early warning systems in the Rimac River Basin of Peru
The coexistence of two early warning systems in Rimac, Peru, reflects how local communities have developed community-level mechanisms to reinforce their resilience to landslides and flooding events.
Patterns of vegetation development and species composition in glacier forefields of the Northern Limestone Alps
Four glacier forefields in the Northern Limestone Alps were equipped with a monitoring platform, using the chronosequence approach to study vegetation development and composition.
Assessing Impacts of Climate Change on the Provisioning Ecosystem Services of Mountain Glaciers
Mountain glaciers provide essential water, food, and energy services. This study examines climate change impacts on glacier-fed energy and agriculture in Caledonian and Karakorum mountain ranges.
Where the forest recedes: Land use changes in mountain areas and their impacts on the livelihoods of Indigenous communities.
Preserving natural forests is vital not only for sustaining livelihoods of Indigenous peoples but also for maintaining environmental sustainability and safeguarding Indigenous knowledge and culture
Mapping Glacier Foreland Features and their Evolution Using Earth Observation Data
We use optical and SAR EO data to map and monitor landform features in glacier forelands, providing insights into landscape evolution and supporting alpine infrastructure management in changing
Combining signal-to-noise ratio and tropospheric delays from GNSS to observe severe thunderstorm events: Case studies from the Alpine region
Severe thunderstorm events over the Alpine region are analysed using signal-to-noise ratio and tropospheric delays from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
Intersecting outdoor-app mobility data, automatic counters and field observations for visitor monitoring – case study of the Nordkette, Innsbruck, Austria
Validation study of outdoor-app data (STRAVA) against field measurements (Eco-Counter), based on empirical data collected in the Nordkette, Innsbruck, Austria
Integrating Field Observations and Model-Based Datasets for Glacio-Hydrological Modelling in Central Asia
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
