We assess the water balance components in a forested high mountain catchment (Berchtesgaden National Park, Germany) using a new high resolution land cover map and snow-hydrological simulations.
Light-absorbing particles effect on the seasonal snowpack melt-out date at a high-altitude site in Central Himalaya
The sensitivity of the seasonal snow cover duration to changes in LAP at a high-altitude valley site in the Central Himalayas, India, is here investigated
Towards improved understanding of spectral processes on the surface radiation balance in snow covered mountains
We want to show the importance of considering anisotropic reflection and multiple scattering in complex terrain when assessing surface radiation budgets and snowmelt processes.
Toward seasonal forecasting of snow depth, SWE and discharge in the Po River basin (Italy)
The SPHERE project uses Copernicus global seasonal forecasts and innovative snow-hydrological models to generate km-resolution seasonal predictions of snow water equivalent and river discharge, to sup
Insights from a multi-approach analysis of Vieux Marinet rock glacier (French Alps) to better understand the context and characteristics of climate impacts on periglacial landforms.
Through Vieux Marinet rock glacier, our study aims to describe its historical activity evolution in order to identify the nature and chronology of external forcing using TCN dating, RS and ERT.
Impact of extreme weather events on mass and energy balance of a polar glacier: examples from Svalbard
We use field measurements and energy-balance modeling to show how extreme weather events drive unprecedented mass loss, contributing to Aldegondabreen’s record-breaking negative mass balance.
Twenty years of climate trends along a 5000 m elevational-transect across Kilimanjaro from savannah to ice-fields: evidence of elevation-dependent warming
Analysis of two decades of temperature trends (2004-2025) across Kilimanjaro based on 22 sites from 900 to 5800 m shows an intensification of warming rate with elevation
Calibrating future glacier projections using data assimilation
Using ensemble-based data assimilation to calibrate glacier model parameters for future projections of glacio-hydrological indicators in Scandinavia
Assimilating hydrological variables with particle filters to improve distributed snow modeling and spatial precipitation patterns
This study reduces uncertainty in distributed snow modeling via data assimilation (PF) of hydrological variables, enhancing SWE and precipitation distribution estimates in a Central Andes catchment.
Monitoring permafrost degradation and its effects on high-mountain infrastructures
Remote sensing and in situ geophysics methods to monitor permafrost degradation and its impact on high-mountain infrastructure stability in selected case studies across the Austrian and Italian Alps.
