Deplete and Retreat: the Future of Andean Water Towers aims to upskill our capability to project water resource changes, by combining state-of-the-art models and new observations.
Storm-scale impacts on seasonal snow droughts: A case study in the Pacific Northwest, United States
The impact of a combined rain-on-snow and mid-winter heatwave event is analyzed in the Pacific Northwest, United States to better understand storm-scale impacts on snow droughts.
Bark Beetle Outbreaks in Slovenia Over the Last 30 Years: Patterns, Drivers, and Management Strategies
This study analyzes 30 years of bark beetle outbreaks in Slovenia, presenting results of studies on spatial-temporal patterns, environmental drivers, and management strategies in a changing climate.
Pictorial sources in glaciology: from the icy splendour of the Little Ice Age to the melting glaciers of today
Our interdisciplinary approach examines the historical attention by naturalists to glaciers and their visual representation. Historical images are systematically analysed to reconstruct past glaciers.
Integrating Drone-based Ground Penetrating Radar and Thermal Infrared Imaging to Study Debris-Covered Glaciers
This presentation will discuss a novel technique for measuring glacier debris thickness using the combination of drone-based ground-penetrating radar and thermal infrared imaging.
Wood in Motion: understanding wood dynamics in disturbed catchments
Large disturbances trigger wood recruitment, impacting river dynamics and infrastructure. This study highlights the importance of integrating wood into river management plans.
Combining efforts on high temporal resolution and near real-time glacier monitoring in Central Asia and Switzerland
Here we provide an overview of the recent progress in Central Asian and Swiss glacier monitoring programs in terms of real-time measurements and their interpretation.
Measurements and models of water and carbon dioxide fluxes in Alpine grasslands: the Nivolet Observatory at the Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy
The main results of the long-term monitoring programme of water and carbon dioxide fluxes ongoing in a high-altitude grassland in the Western Italian Alps will be presented.
Microclimate gradients after natural forest expansion have the potential to contribute to climate buffering in mountain ecosystems
Natural forest expansion after agro-pastoral abandonment shapes mountain microclimates. Our framework highlights microclimate gradients in forest succession, emphasizing replicability across mountain.
