We combine field morphological measurements with numerical simulations to validate sediment movements in the Tagliamento River.
Slowing Glacial Melt with Cellulose Textiles – On the Quest for Sustainable Materials
Glacial skiing areas are covered with geotextiles to slow the melt. Conventional fleeces of polypropylene are emitting microplastics. Cellulose-based textiles provide an eco-friendly solution.
Assessing Aridity Changes and their linkages with Climatic Parameters in Warming Climate: Insights from Himachal Pradesh, India.
Himalayan cold deserts in Himachal Pradesh face decreasing aridity, but rising precipitation threatens fragile ecosystems, biodiversity, and local communities.
Loss in snow storage in the Alps: attribution to elevation bands and meteorological drivers
Low snow conditions are increasing in extent and frequency in all elevations in the Alps, driven by precipitation deficits and warm temperatures with a high persistence and high predictability.
Assessing Aridity Changes in the Cold Desert Ecosystem of Western Himalaya in Warming Climate
West Himalayan cold deserts are highly vulnerable to climate change. Analysis of aridity trends shows decreasing dryness, but increased precipitation may disrupt fragile ecosystems & biodiversity.
Snow droughts in the extratropical Andes Cordillera: perspective from 60-year physically based hydrological modelling
The 2010 megadrought in the extratropical Andes is a dry-and-warm snow drought. Less snow, more evaporation and less runoff (scaled, i.e., efficiencies) compound the drought propagation after 2010.
Enhancing mountain precipitation insights via crowdsourcing and regional models
Validating precipitation in high-resolution climate models is challenged by insufficient spatial and temporal observations.
Hectometer Scale Dynamic Downscaling over the Himalaya for Improved Snowcover Estimates
Using the HICAR model, we perform dynamic downscaling over the Himalaya, comparing modeled snowcover to existing estimates
The influence of westerly moisture transport events on mountain regions in Eastern Africa
We investigate the role of westerly moisture transport events as drivers of sub-seasonal precipitation variability in high elevation regions in Eastern Africa
Assessing Blue-Green Water Partitioning and Glacier Contributions in Peruvian high-Andean wetlands
TC model applied to quantify water fluxes in Peruvian wetlands, assessing glacier and ephemeral snow contributions, their hydrological buffering capacity and sensitivity to climate variability
