High mountain lakes in the face of global change: long-term ecological research to address existing and emerging threats
High mountain lakes are vulnerable to environmental stressors, such as the deposition of pollutants and climate change. Long-term ecological monitoring is fundamental to assess these impacts
Exploring the dynamics of Extreme Summer Precipitation events in the Eastern Italian Alps using CORDEX-FPS data
Extreme summer precipitation in complex topography poses challenges. Using CORDEX-FPS, this study analyses spatial and temporal patterns, emphasizing daily and sub-daily dynamics in the Eastern Alps.
Projection of Future Climate Changes in Central Africa using a Regional Climate Model
This study evaluates RegCM4’s performance in simulating extreme temperatures and projects future changes under different RCP scenarios, highlighting the urgent need for adaptation measures.
Investigation of aerosol effects on diurnal cycle of precipitation amount, frequency and intensity over Central Africa.
Our results indicate that the pattern of simulated Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) is well represented particularly northward of the study region compared to AOD from MODIS
