By exploring young people’s perceptions of Alpine environments through visitor-employed photography walks in Tyrol, Austria, key features are identified to restrengthening young people’s human-nature.
Acceleration of the water cycle in mountains: The role of snow in runoff dynamics
The increasing number of snowmelt periods, including rain-on-snow events, and thus a higher proportion of fast flow in total runoff, may lead to an acceleration of the mountain water cycle.
