Historical and present day photographs used to document glacier changes in Iceland
How to approach the bioaccumulation of nanoplastics in glacial environment
Nanoplastics pose risks to organisms, yet detection is challenging. This study identifies NPs in Alpine chironomid larvae, suggesting possible contamination in pristine glacial environments.
Co-Creation for Mountain Climate Resilience: quadruple-helix approach for Stakeholder Engagement
The Horizon Europe MountResilience Project, funded by CINEA, mission CLIMA, aims to increase resilience to climate chenge. Duration: 54 months (2023-2028) Partnership: 47 partners, UMIL lead partner
Ecosystem Services Across Altitudes: Rethinking Resilience and Conservation in the Himalayas
Climate and land-use changes alter Himalayan ecosystem services across altitudes. An altitude-sensitive conservation strategy, merging research and governance, is key to resilience and sustainability.
Do tree ring data reflect contrasting climate sensitivity in a Himalayan treeline ecotone? A comparison of Abies spectabilis (D. Don) Mirb. and Rhododendron campanulatum (D. Don)
The differing climatic sensitivity of high-elevation treeline species—Rhododendron campanulatum, tolerant to drought stress, while Abies spectabilis is more susceptible.
Gap-filling mountain regions of the Snow CCI SWE product using Bayesian snow reanalysis
Mountain snow water equivalent (SWE) estimates from assimilation of ESA CCI Snow cover fraction data into a Bayesian reanalysis scheme are promising to gap-fill mountain areas in Snow CCI SWE.
Vital Mountains – a patht of self-sustainable development of mountain areas
Mountain territories are facing new challenges. The Vital Mountains project in Trentino fosters socio-ecological transition through participatory action research for community-driven development.
Uncovering Risk Perception in Avalanche Terrain: A Semantic Analysis of User-Generated Ski Tour Reports
We leverage user-generated ski tour reports to study perception of risk and the environment in uncertain and risky conditions – and how these perceptions relate to avalanche hazard and accidents.
Building glacier velocity time series with a uniform sampling interval of six days or less from scene-pair velocity maps
A novel method extracts glacier velocity time series with uniform intervals, improving seasonal analysis. Validated in High Mountain Asia, it refines uncertainty using Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data.
Integrating Indigenous Knowledge and Modern Strategies for Climate Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction in Western Ghats, India
Integrating Indigenous Knowledge with modern science strengthens resilience and provides a scalable model for climate adaptation in mountain ecosystems worldwide.
