Snow cover trends were analyzed using MODIS data across Italy (2001-2022). Significant trends were found in the Apennines and the Alps. Long-term trends (1951-2022) were assessed using ERA5-Land.
Local climatic drivers of elevation-dependent warming: insights from a concerted field and modeling assessment in an alpine national park
This research explores drivers of elevation-dependent warming in the Alps. Combining observations and modeling, we assess how soil properties, topography and energy fluxes influence warming trends.
Significance and limits of VGI in the study and understanding of the logics of visits of natural areas: Strava and Outdoorvision data on Grenoble Alpes Métropole and the Drôme department (France)
This paper reports on studies using VGI data of outdoor sports from Strava and Outdoorvision. We studied nine natural areas in the Drôme department and the Grenoble Alpes Métropole area (France).
Climate Forcing of Himalayan Snowmelt: Correlating Aerosol Optical Depth with Snow Cover Changes in Mago Basin, Arunachal Pradesh, India
This study examines the interplay between snow cover ablation and aerosol optical depth (AOD) in the Mago region of Arunachal Pradesh, utilizing MODIS-derived snow cover data and MERRA-2 data
Seed(ing the) data of tomorrow – but how? A closer look at seed monitoring methods
We present a variety of commonly used seed monitoring methods, as well as some niche and possible future ones, and discuss their characteristics.
Preparing for NASA SBG: fusing multi- and hyperspectral airborne and satellite data to create daily, high resolution snow albedo products
Our project combines multi- and hyperspectral reflectance data, spectral mixture analysis, and random forest machine learning algorithms to create better snow albedo measurements.
The response of two inverted tree lines under possible elevational-dependent warming: Southern Sierra Nevada, California USA
A canopy and soil temperature sensor transect across inverted tree line boundaries/cold pools shows a decrease in temperature inversions and intensity over time possibly linked to EDW
A youth-based glacio-hydrological monitoring program in Tongait KakKasuangita SilakKijapvinga (Torngat Mountains National Park), Nunatsiavut, Labrador, Canada
We report on a youth-based participatory glacio-hydrological research program that aims to establish mass balance, meteorological, and watershed monitoring for a glacier in the Torngat Mountains.
Vegetation changes after 15 yrs. along an elevational gradient in the Andes of central Chile
After 15 years, the number of native plants species in the lower part of an elevational gradient in the Andes of central Chile decreased whilst the number of exotics increased
The International Network for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology: Goals and Recent Achievements
This presentation will introduce INARCH and the objectives for this session.
