From Imagination to Manifestation: Young People’s Perspective of a Livable and Sustainable Future in the Alps and the Andes
Young people in the Alps and the Andes develop visions for a sustainable future. Inter- and transdisciplinary initiatives empower them with skills, fostering collaboration and action competencies.
Assessing Blue-Green Water Partitioning and Glacier Contributions in Peruvian high-Andean wetlands
TC model applied to quantify water fluxes in Peruvian wetlands, assessing glacier and ephemeral snow contributions, their hydrological buffering capacity and sensitivity to climate variability
Optimizing design of MSE wall ensuring safety and sustainable approach
Present study examines role of 3d FEM software’s over 2d LEM software to discuss the corner stresses generated in MSE wall structures. While incorporating LCA for sustainable design.
Where and when observed streamflow changes are strongest in glacierized catchments worldwide
By integrating a global dataset of glacierized catchment streamflow with geodetic estimates of glacier mass loss, we explore the spatial and seasonal patterns of streamflow change.
Mitigating torrential risks in mountanous regions through forest management: A case study from Slovenia
Presented approach emphasizes adaptive management practices to mitigate torrential risks, with results demonstrating the importance of forest management in enhancing resilience and flood protection.
Changing subglacial and groundwater flow under retreating glaciers in Svalbard
Retreating glaciers change the permafrost and hence groundwater flow which can lead to enhanced release of geological methane. We present field measurements and simulations to this phenomenon.
At the top of the mountain: Bat activity across elevations using acoustic monitoring in the Western Alps
Bat activity in Western Alps peaks at 1,600m, probably due to prey abundance, but is primarily driven by nighttime temperature and elevation. Bat passages also occur at 3,100m
Seasonal variability of aerosol properties at Testa Grigia Observatory (3480 m), in the western Italian Alps
First observations at the Testa Grigia Observatory, at 3480 m in the Italian Alps, are reported. Data reveal distinct aerosol regimes affected by meteorological factors and air mass origins.
