Our project aims to explore the use of a video in a research protocol to test the raising of public awareness of other species living in mid-mountain areas.
Insights from two-decades of climate observations sustained collaboratively with near-surface sensors vertically embedded along a tropical Peruvian Andean slope
Andean sensors (20yrs) reveal faster warming at higher elevations, especially dry season nights, and decreased lapse rates. Humidity also increases with height, strongest in the wet season.
World Mountain Cities and their characteristics?
The Urban Centre Data Base contains over 11,000 cities of over 50,000 inhabitants each can be used in locating and quantitatively characterizing cities in mountainous regions at global scale.
Current status, trends and future challenges of the cryosphere in the Alps based on an example in the Hohe Tauern National Park
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
Discussions on droughts and glaciers on the two slopes of the central Andes (28.30°- 39°). Disputes over governance objects in the context of the new climate regime.

A Data-agnostic Framework for Multi-Hazard Events: Integrating Process Interactions and Sediment Connectivity
This study proposes a novel umbrella framework for systematically analyse multi-hazard events, integrating sediment connectivity – a robust, data-agnostic and transferable approach.
Snow melt dynamics of an Alpine snowpack from multitemporal Sentinel-1 backscattering, high-resolution ground measurements, and radiative transfer modeling
We collected the first dataset of wet snow properties tailored for SAR applications and used it to detect snowmelt from S1 and highlight challenges in radiative transfer modeling of wet snow.
The tribal social organization pattern in High Land of Albania
Nikc represents the Kelmend tribe’s unique cultural identity, shaped by isolation and traditional practices. This research uses building archaeology and oral histories to explore settlement patterns
Wind-disturbed forests: A nature-based solution for risk reduction against snow avalanches?
Our framework enables better evaluation of the remaining protective effect of wind-disturbed forests using remote sensing data, supporting decision-making and sustainable forest management.
Vulnerabilities to Water Supply in the Southern Andes: Land Use, Climate, and Infrastructure Issues
This study highlights urgent challenges to water security in tropical Andean communities, focusing on deforestation, wetland drainage, road construction, landslides, and future dams.
