The Highlands of New Guinea show one of the earliest movements of modern humans into montane environments, including the independent development of agriculture post LGM.
Assessing Climate Risks and Adaptation Plans in Mountain Regions: A Global Synthesis of National Climate Action Plans
This study systematically reviews and synthesizes climate hazards, exposure, vulnerability and adaptation measures prioritized by mountainous countries in their most recent NDCs, NAPs, and BTRs.
Climate change impacts on recreational alpinist behaviour in European Alps
This study investigates how recreational alpinists in the European Alps perceive and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
STRATEGIES AND PROJECTS FOR THE RURAL ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE: The Tower Houses in the Reggio Apennines
The tower house faces abandonment challenges. Adaptive reuse can foster sustainable practices and resilience through collaborative conservation, blending tradition with modern needs.
Andean Identity model
The Sarmiento’s trilemma of Andean identity will be explained using the traditional trifecta of the Inka commandments that implies interplay of reciprocity of highland adaptation and robust livelihood
Designing Resilient and Sustainable Solar Battery Infrastructure (DResi) for the Top of the World
This research develops a resilient off-grid solar battery solution for high mountains, integrating systemic resilience and circular economy principles to strengthen disaster recovery and sustainabilit
Microclimate Matters: Soil Temperature and Plant Community Dynamics in High-Mountain Ecosystems
The study shows how soil microclimate (snow cover duration and growing degree days), influences alpine plant community dynamics, revealing key patterns of biodiversity change in high-mountains
An inventory of rock glaciers in the Spiti Basin, NW Himalaya, using high resolution imageries
This study presents the first detailed rock glacier inventory of the Spiti Basin, highlighting their distribution, morphometry, and climatic influences using high-resolution satellite imagery from 202
Reconstruction of the mass balance and dynamics of glaciers in the Orto-Koy-Suu basin (Northern Tien Shan)
We further simulated the glacier mass balance from 2000 to 2025 and estimated the glacier runoff in the Orto-Koi-Suu river basin.
