We present the first gridded datasets of daily snow water equivalent and depth for Switzerland. These 1km datasets (1962-1999) offer valuable information despite some limitations at low elevations.
Developing Principles for Digitally-Enabled Uplands Research
Reviewing digitally-enabled uplands research, this offers a starting point for future development of research principles emphasising interdisciplinarity, local engagement, and ethical data practices.
Key Drivers of Heterogeneous Glacier Area Variation in the Uttarakhand Himalaya
Uttarakhand glaciers lost 0.095% area yearly (2000–2023). Shape index and slope influenced stability, affecting deglaciation and water resources.
Rediscovery marks established by Johan Bernhard Rekstad around the turn of the 20th century to measure frontal variations of outlet glaciers from the Jostedalsbreen Ice Cap in western Norway
Around the turn of the 20th century, Johan Bernhard Rekstad established permanent marks to be used for frontal measurements of outlet glaciers from the Jostedalsbreen Ice Cap.
Alpine dwarf shrubs growing on green roofs
Alpine dwarf shrubs may be appropriate species for green roofs due to their adaptation to windy, rocky, and nutrient-poor sites.
Five years of a multi-taxon biodiversity monitoring in an Alpine region: lessons learned, and results obtained
Since 2019, Biodiversity Monitoring South Tyrol has been surveying species groups sensitive to climate and land-use change. The results and technological innovations in monitoring are discussed.
Precipitation and a Central Asian HydroClimate Research Project under the GEWEX Umbrella
Regional Hydroclimate Projects are addressing the observation, modeling and prediction of precipitation in mountainous regions.
Challenges in monitoring snow topography using terrestrial LiDAR on a subarctic mountain snowpack (Yukon, Canada)
Our objective was to capture, hourly LiDAR data on snow height. However, the results revealed diurnal pattern in snow surface elevation, with nighttime decreases and daytime increases.
Modelling the relationship between MODIS land surface temperature and in situ air temperature on Mount Kilimanjaro: exploring temperature variability and trends across environmental factors
This study models air temperature from MODIS land surface temperature on Mount Kilimanjaro. We assess the differences between them and how these differences vary with elevation, topography, snow, vege
25 Years of Lake Evolution and Sediment Dynamics in a Proglacial Environment: The Case of Sulzsee, Obersulzbach Valley, Austrian Alps
Glacier-fed lakes in proglacial environments offer insights into sediment dynamics and climate adaptation. Lake Sulzsee shows significant patterns of sedimentation influenced delayed ice melt.
