Using participatory approach, we synthesized stakeholders’ perceived future scenarios in Kilimanjaro and management actions that enhance NCP, improve quality of life, and support sustainable SES.
ISCAR and its role in the Alpine governance system
The aim of the paper is to critically review ISCAR’s role at the Alpine level and to provide insights for strengthening the position of science in the Alpine governance structure.
Evaluating a variable-resolution physically based snow model through intensive monitoring at high-mountain experimental catchments: lessons learned and future directions.
We test a snowdrift-permitting variable resolution snow model at an experimental catchment in the Andes Cordillera of Central chile, and diagnose avenues for further development.
Elevation-dependent changes in temperature extremes and possible driving mechanisms in the Greater Alpine Region
The study explores the elevational stratification of temperature extremes trends across the Greater Alpine Region (ERA5 and E-OBS data), revealing distinct elevational patterns and assessing drivers.
Seasonal predictions of meteorological and snow depth anomalies: skill assessment in the Alpine Region
We assess the skill of seasonal forecast systems in predicting meteorological anomalies and snow water equivalent in the Alpine region, improving drought risk assessment and hydrological forecasting.
The role of institutions in the processes of reuse of abandoned places within the minoritu languag community of Mòcheni (Italy)
In the Mòcheno linguistic minority community, the role of the Cultural Institute plays a fundamental role in the reuse of abandoned places, where the local language has a special focus.
High resolution atmospheric modelling of high-altitude precipitation patterns and dynamics in the Third Pole region.
High resolution WRF model simulations are performed to improve our understanding of high-altitude precipitation patterns, dynamics, and corresponding atmospheric processes in the Third Pole region.
Recreational Activities in the Mountains, Encounters with Wildlife, and Connection to Nature
This survey focuse on the impact of childhood nature experiences, the relationships that outdoors recreationnists have with wild animals, the role of encounters in their connection to nature
Aerosol Profiles with Pandora Sky Measurements
We report on first results of aerosol profile retrievals with passive ground-based remote sensing data. We use two approaches: a parametrized calculation and retrievals with the GRASP algorithm.
Biodiversity monitoring in Obergurgl: Tradition and future perspective
Since 2000, a monitoring programme of abiotic factors and species composition of fauna and flora along an altitudinal gradient is one of the central duties of the Alpine Research Centre in Obergurgl.
