This project introduces a terrain-sensitive urban analytics tool that redefines accessibility in mountain cities, addressing topographic, infrastructural, and seasonal constraints while enabling cross
Using digital technologies for the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation: The Glaciar app.
We are currently developing an app for the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation, that focuses on a citizen science approach to monitoring of climate change in glaciers and mountain areas.
Nature-based adaptation in mountains is shaped by the interconnected relationships between people and nature
Adaptation to climate change is a social–ecological process shaped by interactions within and between social and ecological systems. Our synthesis of 25 cases explores these interactions in adaptation
Local or certified? Plant phenotypic variability and plasticity for mountain ecosystems restoration.
Using an experimental approach, we sought to understand the effect of human selection and lowland cultivation on plants’ ecological strategies and their ability to respond to a new environment.
Plant’s Contributions to People and the Future of Post-Glacial Ecosystems
Understanding Plant’s Contributions to People (PCP) is essential for guiding conservation strategies and ensuring the sustainable transformation of emerging post-glacial ecosystems.
Low-Altitude Micro-Ski Resorts and Climate Change: Evidence from Two Case Studies in the Northwestern of the Italian Alps
Climate Change and low-altitude ski resorts
Tourism and Mountain Huts: State of the art of Scientific Production

Transitional Colonization of Colorado’s Southern Rocky Mountains from the Latest Pleistocene into the Early Holocene
The presentation describes research modeling of Late Pleistocene through Early Holocene cultural and climate change in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
Building resilience to climate change through mountain nature-based community enterprises in Africa
Africa mountains are hotspots for biodiversity and essential for community livelihoods. ARCOS thrives to build mountain communities resilience through mountain nature-based community enterprises.
Improving green roof design: The crucial role of substrate depth for microclimate and plant composition
Variations in substrate depth can create distinct microclimates on an otherwise homogeneous extensive green roof and enhance taxonomic and structural diversity of the vegetation.
