This contribution integrates forensic analysis and impact chains to enhance multi-hazard risk understanding in the Alps, learning from historical events and offering a structured understanding of risk
Snow droughts in the extratropical Andes Cordillera: perspective from 60-year physically based hydrological modelling
The 2010 megadrought in the extratropical Andes is a dry-and-warm snow drought. Less snow, more evaporation and less runoff (scaled, i.e., efficiencies) compound the drought propagation after 2010.
Evaluating IoT-Based Monitoring System in Alpine Environments: A Practical Assessment
This study assesses an IoT deployment guideline for alpine monitoring, testing its usability with various user groups to improve data collection and system resilience in extreme conditions.
Can plant functional traits explain recent change in mountain summits?
Plant morphological traits and carbon content have a moderate ability to explain changes in plant abundance in response to climate change on mountain summits.
Countering Narratives of Loss in the New Technology Economy of Appalachia
This paper focuses on job loss in the Appalachian region of the US. It examines efforts to form a tech economy that counters stereotypes of rural backwardness while reflecting local cultural practice.

Importance of mountain forest for leisure activities- the case of the municipality of Tržič, Slovenia
Recreational activities in the mountain forest are becoming increasingly diverse and popular. As such, they must be taken into account in various strategic documents and decision-making processes.
Enhancing mountain precipitation insights via crowdsourcing and regional models
Validating precipitation in high-resolution climate models is challenged by insufficient spatial and temporal observations.
Treeline dynamics and seedling survival in the Italian Alps: Insights from the OLYMPUS Project
