Developing a scale to measure how social capital—networks, trust, reciprocity—enhances rural disaster resilience, highlighting the role of village cadres in complementing top-down risk management.
Aren’t ethnographic materials on mountain communities qualified as mountain information? Can they be assembled? And How?
The talk gauges the interest of the mountain research community in making use of a wealth of qualitative information about the mountain and its people embedded in ethnographic materials.
Adaptive trajectories in temperate mountains: new research at Likonong and Ha Soloja, Lesotho
Pilot research at two rockshelters in Lesotho’s Maloti-Drakensberg Mountains reveal processes of landscape learning and the generation of adaptive strategies beginning in the Middle Pleistocene.
From the Himalayas to the Andes: Implementation of ice stupas as a climate adaptation measure in arid mountain regions
Ice stupas, a specific form of ice reservoir first developed in the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh, are increasingly promoted as an adaptation strategy in meltwater-dependent mountain environments.
The flux of climate information in mountain regions: an example from the Andes
Differences between countries make it necessary to analyze the structures of the information flows in addition to the production of the service and the co-production spaces between CS and end users.
A dual system of knowledge and information for early warning systems in the Rimac River Basin of Peru
The coexistence of two early warning systems in Rimac, Peru, reflects how local communities have developed community-level mechanisms to reinforce their resilience to landslides and flooding events.
Modeling forest fires with low computational complexity and NetLogo in the high Catalan-Andorran-Occitan Pyrenees: the Desbosiguem! fire spreading model (DFS model)
This presents a low computational complexity wildfire spread model used as a decision support system for evaluating the relative effects of alternative management scenarios in the Desbosigem! project.
Uncertain futures, resilient pathways: exploratory modeling for adaptive water and risk management in mountain regions
Exploratory Modeling and Analysis supports adaptation planning by identifying robust measures, adjusting strategies, and detecting adaptation limits under deep uncertainty
Influence of natural disturbances on the protective effect of mountain forests against natural hazards and thereof derived risks
Assessing disturbance susceptibility and protective function in Alpine forests supports risk-based management strategies, enhancing decision-making for sustainable natural hazard mitigation
