This study analyzes a century-old Eco-DRR strategy in Los Arañones, assessing its effectiveness in protecting Canfranc Railway Station from avalanches and floods while highlighting maintenance challen
Coming from the Cold (II): Addressing the Challenges of Remote Cryosphere Fieldwork in the Andes and Antarctica from a Gender Perspective
We analyze gendered challenges in Andean and Antarctic fieldwork, highlighting key barriers and contributing to broader discussions on equity, diversity, and inclusion in cryosphere research.
Developing a Multimodal Approach for Multi-Hazard Monitoring in the Nepal Himalaya
Our presentation reviews findings from the Stimson Center’s ongoing work to build multimodal systems for multi-hazard monitoring in the Nepal Himalayas, 2023-2025.
Seasonality and Albedo Dependence of Cloud Radiative Forcing in the Upper Colorado River Basin
Clouds can increase or decrease available net radiation at the Earth surface. We quantify the radiative forcing by clouds using ground based observations for an intensively monitored mountain site.
Advancing risk management in winter outdoor recreation and tourism through long-term visitor and avalanche hazard monitoring – a case study of the Tatra Mountains, Poland
Our study aims to advance risk management in winter nature-based mountain recreation and tourism through long-term visitor and avalanche hazard monitoring.
Identification of changes in the snow accumulation area of the drainage basins of rivers Santa and Vilcanota, Peru
The decrease in snow cover area, snowfall, and air temperature increases in the Cordillera Blanca indicate risks to the socio-cryosphere culture in high Andes rural communities.
How do upland communities appropriate digital technologies to monitor and adapt to glacier melting? A literature review on the convergences and tensions between expert systems and Indigenous knowledge.
The interaction between expert systems and Indigenous knowledge in glacier monitoring and adaptation.
The very active morphodynamics of the permafrost-affected rock walls of the French Alps during Fall 2024
The climate crisis is increasing rock slope failures in high mountains due to permafrost degradation. This study examines major events in the French Alps during autumn 2024.
Shifting uses of three French natural ice caves over centuries
Ice caves are natural cold traps preserving perennial ice beyond the cryosphere’s typical limits. This study explores the historical use and evolution of three French ice caves over centuries.
8 years of research on ice aprons in the Mont-Blanc massif (Franch Alps)
Ice aprons are small, perennial ice bodies on steep slopes, often above the glacier equilibrium line. They hold ancient ice and offer valuable insights into glacial heritage and environmental change.
