We analyze the narratives of change and the forest renewal practices implemented in the Doller Valley. We show the interplay of ideological and empirical changes driven by climate-change adaptation.
Perceived Climate Change and Observed Impact on Agriculture in Ladakh Region, India: A Case Study of Suru Valley
The study explores climate change’s impact on agriculture in Ladakh. Rising temperatures, declining precipitation, and erratic weather affected staple crops, prompting an adaptive strategies.
Long-term (2000-2022) scenario of aerosol pollution over the IGP and Himalayan region: Decadal changes and identification of potential source regions
Emissions from the IGP region have drastically affected the Himalayan air quality. Controlling aerosol pollution levels in the IGP is vital to protecting the fragile Himalayan environment.
Post-war aerial imagery of the Austrian Alps from 1945 for quantifying glacier changes
Historical aerial imagery from the US Airforce acquired in 1945 is used to determine glacier changes in the Austrian Alps.
Managing Decline – Where to Draw a Line by Prioritizing Investments in Mountain Villages?
The depopulation of mountain villages threatens cultural heritage. This research opens a discussion about criteria for prioritizing villages for investments in the reality of managing rural decline.
Traditional Apiculture in the Mountains: Livelihood Diversification and Evolving Food Systems in Mountain Communities of Galiyat, Pakistan
Apiculture sustains livelihoods in Galiyat, Pakistan, amid climate and economic changes. This study explores traditional beekeeping, livelihood diversification, and challenges, offering strategies to
Exploring Scale Interactions and Feedback Mechanisms in Glacier-Atmosphere Dynamics in Mountain Regions: Insights from High-Resolution Simulations
Mountain glaciers drive climate feedbacks. Using simulations and transfer entropy, we reveal causal links, energy flux dynamics, and atmospheric interactions across scales.
Integrating process-based snow and glacier mass balance modelling at high spatio-temporal resolution
We explore the application of a recent fully distributed snow model based on mass and energy balance and including redistribution processes by wind and avalanches to glacierized Alpine catchments.
Beyond the tangible: A comparative case study of floods and invisible losses in Mustang, Nepal
The study explores invisible loss relating to floods in Himalayan communities, advocating for plural values to inform inclusive adaptation strategies based on core-periphery dynamics.
Late Pleistocene-Early Holocene Pacific coast-Andes connections in southern Peru
We review evidence for Pacific coast-Andean highland interactions in the Terminal Pleistocene and Early Holocene in southern Peru.
