This study integrates field and drone-based data to monitor treeline dynamics, focusing on recolonization processes and key drivers affecting spatial patterns at high-elevation mediterranean mountains
The impact of melting glaciers and snowpacks on crop production in Asia.
In this presentation we will show how we assess the impact of melting glaciers and snowpacks on crop production in Asia, in one of the world’s major food producing areas.
A model of mountain social-ecological systems to catalyze multi-actor collaborations towards sustainability
We present a model of Mountain Socio-Ecological Systems based on actors’ representations, which includes a Personal Stance component describing an individual actor’s relationship to the mountains.
Hectometer Scale Dynamic Downscaling over the Himalaya for Improved Snowcover Estimates
Using the HICAR model, we perform dynamic downscaling over the Himalaya, comparing modeled snowcover to existing estimates
Assessing Drought in the Garhwal Himalayas Using Remote Sensing Indices and AHP
Drought is an emerging environmental concern in Himalayan regions, driven by climate variability, changing rainfall patterns and anthropogenic impacts such as deforestation and land use change
Promoting Plant Agro-Biodiversity for Sustainable Development in Damavand Mountain
Damavand Mountain, located north of Tehran, Iran is ecologically and culturally significant. Enhancing plant agro-biodiversity in this area is essential for sustainable development.
Unravelling the Science-Policy Interaction: Role of Communication in Mitigating Catastrophic Hazards across Hindu Kush Himalayas
This study shows how strategic communication between scientists, policymakers, and locals can help reduce risks and improve disaster preparedness in mountain regions.
The influence of westerly moisture transport events on mountain regions in Eastern Africa
We investigate the role of westerly moisture transport events as drivers of sub-seasonal precipitation variability in high elevation regions in Eastern Africa
Socio-economic changes and their impact in the Carpathian Mountains (Romania)
The study focuses on the socio-economic changes registered in the Carpathian Mountains (Romania) during the post-communist era.
Ecological Diversity and Conservation Challenges in the Barun Valley, Makalu Barun National Park
The Barun Valley, a Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, faces threats from habitat loss, poaching, hydropower, and infrastructure expansion, highlighting the urgent need for conservation and awareness.
