We present a detailed surface energy balance assessment for one of the global benchmark glaciers, Hintereisferner and discuss the atmospheric drivers of ice melt.
Modelling of snow and glacier mass balance in Cordillera Vilcanota, Peru: from 2000 to 2150CE
We investigate the evolution of the snowpack and glacier mass balance across glaciers in the Cordillera Vilcanota.
Rise of Tourism in Wadi Rum: A Case Study in the Challenge of Balancing Local Economic Development and Environmental Conservation
Wadi Rum exemplifies the challenge of balancing the increasing influx of tourists with sustainability in protected areas, which are fragile ecosystems.
Disaster, Liminality and Wakhis in the High Mountain Asia: A Networked and Discursive approach to Resilience
This study examines the Wakhi community’s resilience in High Asia through spatial, temporal, political, cultural, and environmental liminality, advocating for indigenous knowledge.
Climate change threatens the stoat through camouflage and prey-predator mismatch in the Italian Alps
Reduced snow cover days and a mismatch with its preferred prey may result in a 36% range contraction for the stoat in Italy, potentially elevating its conservation status to ‘Vulnerable’
How to rebuild after the Al Haouz earthquake using local materials in a context of accelerated global warming (Morocco). Analysis of two pilot projects.
Construction using local materials ensures safety and adaptation to global warming. It requires the development of a local workforce combining resources, skills and local constructive autonomy.
Interconnected Microbial Communities in Alpine Grassland Ecosystems
Soil integrates microbiotas of various living organisms. We reveal how (a)biotic factors shape microbial communities, highlighting host-habitat associations across an alpine elevation gradient.
Monitoring dust depositions and their radiative impact on snow dynamics in North-Western Alps
Light-Absorbing Particles are known to deeply affect the cryosphere. This research describes the LAP effect over snow cover in the European Alps through remote sensing, modelling and field campaigns.
Glacier futures for the INARCH COPE catchments simulated using the Open Global Glacier Model
We show glacier futures situated with OGGM and forced with W5E5v2.0 climate dataset for the INARCH COPE glaciated basins.
Andean glacier mass balance through the last six decades
We have quantified ice loss rates across ten glacierised catchments in different climate zones of the Andes through the last six decades.
