Sustenance of Social-Ecological Systems and water resources in areas of Himachal Pradesh.
This study focuses on the different ecological and social (& cultural) systems of a mountaneous ecosystem and how it affects the micro-water systems.
In Calmer Waters: The Influence of Source Water on Alpine River Systems in Tongait KakKasuangita SilakKijapvinga (Torngat Mountains National Park), Nunatsiavut, Labrador
Understanding how changes in the cryosphere and hydrosphere impact downstream ecosystems and human livelihoods to support future climate-change monitoring and adaptation in Canada’s North.
Modeling invasion risks: The importance of near-surface temperature and human activities in protected areas of the Andes
Nonnative plants are expanding in the Andes due to climate and human impact, threatening biodiversity. Microclimatic and anthropogenic data enhance models, identifying high risk areas in the Andes.
Ecological Impacts of Cryospheric Change: Assessing Glacier Loss Effects on Keystone Species in the Hindukush, Himalaya, and Karakoram Ranges
Rapid glacier depletion from global warming and black carbon threatens 198 species in the Hindu Kush Himalaya. Urgent policy actions are essential to mitigate ecological damage and save biodiversity.
Snow Variability Analyses Based on CERRA-Land versus Convection Permitting Climate Simulations in the Upper Euphrates Basin
Snow cover in the Upper Euphrates Basin has declined with earlier snowmelt and a shorter snow season. Future projections indicate further reductions, emphasizing the basin’s increasing vulnerability.
Metromountain: Reinventing urban-mountain connections with design practice for resilient and inclusive development.
This study explores the metromountain concept and, through case studies, demonstrates how architecture can support urban-mountain interdependence, counter depopulation, and rethink local development.
Integrating Geophysical Methods to Map Buried Ice and Groundwater Pathways in Deglaciating Valley
We present a multi-method geophysical approach combining drone-based GPR, ERT with IP, and sMNR to improve subsurface hydrological mapping in a rapidly changing mountain environment.
The cultural loss and damage of glacier retreat demands further attention: A case study from Cerro El Plomo glaciers in Santiago, Chile
We use the case of the retreating glaciers of Cerro El Plomo near Santiago, Chile to call for more collaborative studies between glaciologists, social scientists, and local communities.
Projected changes in population exposure to extreme precipitation events over Central Africa under the global warming levels of 1.5°C and 2°C: insights from CMIP6 simulations
The results reveal that the intense precipitation amounts, which often contributes to the emergence of severe floods are expected to significantly increase by up to 25%.
