We integrate a cryosphere-surface hydrology model with numerical groundwater simulations of the Langtang basin to explore how the hydrological system will shift in the upcoming decades.
Impacts of Climate Change and Local Topography on the Glaciers of the High-Altitude Cold Desert of Lahaul In the Western Himalayas, India
The rising temperature and changing precipitation patterns in the Western Himalayas are causing drastic changes in the cryosphere. It also affects the water security of millions of people.
Strongly Heterogeneous Surface-Water Warming Trends in High Mountain Asia
Surface water is rapidly warming across High Mountain Asia
Advancing snow representation and regional water budget estimation in complex terrains within the Community Earth System Model
We aim to improve accuracy of terrestrial energy and water budget estimates and hydroclimatic assessments in the Community Terrestrial Systems Model by accounting for terrain characteristics.
How do Mediterranean snow droughts impact mountain socio-ecohydrology?
Using 13 years of data from over 30 Italian headwater catchments, this study reveals that snow droughts profoundly affect mountain socio-ecological systems, with cascading impacts extending downstream
How are scientific knowledge and risk management of glacial and periglacial processes influenced by Alpine catastrophic events ?
An Alpine-scale database on major mass movements of glacial and periglacial origin that have required advanced scientific knowledge and/or risk management.
Modelling Long-Term Debris Cover Evolution and its Impact on Runoff in the Aletschgletscher Catchment
We model the Aletsch catchment hydrology, integrating debris-cover and thickness evolution into mass balance and runoff modelling to analyse its role in long-term glacier hydrology and water resources
Quantifying surface runoff in Alpine catchments from historical forest use data on the basis of an expert system
In order to understand runoff processes in the past, historical sources providing land use information have been converted into a form that can be used for hydrological modelling.
The 2022-2023 snow drought in the Italian Alps doubled glacier contribution to summer streamflow
Glaciers doubled their contribution to streamflow during the severe 2022-2023 snow drought in the Italian Alps, obtaininga vital mitigation role.
Revisiting Observed Elevation-Dependent Warming in Switzerland
Increased autumn/winter sunshine duration on the Swiss Plateau and spring snow-albedo feedback are key drivers of the elevational differences in Switzerland’s warming over the past 75 years.
