KryoMon.AT standardizes and integrates long-term cryosphere data (glaciers, snow, lake ice, and permafrost) in Austria, enhancing accessibility for science, policymakers, and the public.
Essential Variables for the rEmote characterisation and monitoRing of mountain EcosystemS along a biogeographical gradienT: from data to decision making (EVEREST).
EVEREST project brings together scientists and managers in the co-design, co-production, and validation of methodological framework to provide remote-sensing essential biodiversity variables.
Assessing the Protective Role of Mountain Forests Against Natural Hazards Under Climate Change
Proactive forest management and reduced browsing pressure enhance mountain forests’ protective role against rockfall and avalanches under future climate scenarios in Alpine regions
Integrating science and policy: Lessons from ARCOS’ work in African mountains
Views and contributions on the science-policy interface for regional mountain governance
Integrating cryosphere processes into groundwater modeling for alpine headwaters under climate change
This study integrates cryosphere processes into groundwater modeling in Alpine headwaters to improve understanding of water cycle dynamics under climate change.
Reimagining historical and repeat photographs for Indigenous land use planning
We will present on a collaboration between Iyarhe (Stoney) Nakoda Nation and the Mountain Legacy Project to repurpose a colonial photographic archive in support of Indigenous resurgence.
Modeling forest fires with low computational complexity and NetLogo in the high Catalan-Andorran-Occitan Pyrenees: the Desbosiguem! fire spreading model (DFS model)
This presents a low computational complexity wildfire spread model used as a decision support system for evaluating the relative effects of alternative management scenarios in the Desbosigem! project.
AlpTherm3d – a convection model on highly resolved orography
AlpTherm3d is a Lagrangian downscaling algorithm driven by external fields from ICON-D2 or GFS. It allows to study convective processes in a changing atmosphere over complex terrain.
Rainfall and fog in the paramo ecosystem, the water tower of the tropical Andes
At the Zhurucay Ecohydrological Observatory, established 15 years ago in southern Ecuador, we studied the hydrological processes of the páramo ecosystem. Drizzle emerged as the primary water source.
Downscaling Remote Sensing Data for Mountain Glacier Mass Balance
The study focused on remote sensing data downscaling to improve glacial mass balance estimates by integrating altimetry and gravimetry to enhance model-data comparisons and refine glacier modeling.
