This study compares Pléiades PHR and Neo for snow depth mapping, showing Neo’s improved resolution and validating an automated cross-matching approach for precise, repeatable mapping in alpine terrain
QOMS：A Comprehensive Observation Station for Climate Change Research on the Top of Earth
QOMS observation network has promoted the understanding of land–atmosphere interactions and hydrological processes and their impacts on weather patterns, atmospheric circulations, and climate change.
Towards co-produced water management pathways to counteract deteriorating mountain water quality in the deglaciating Andes of Peru
We showcase the deglaciating Negro river catchment in Peru to disentangle the complex interactions between glacier retreat and changes in water quality in the context of long-term human health.
Using digital technologies for the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation: The Glaciar app.
We are currently developing an app for the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation, that focuses on a citizen science approach to monitoring of climate change in glaciers and mountain areas.
Settlement Systems in Mountain Regions: A Research Gap?
This paper presents a scoping review of settlement systems in mountain regions, reflecting on thematic foci, temporal developments, and regional differences in the global scientific debate.
Glacier Retreat and the Restructuring of Ecological Networks
Glacier retreat reshapes biodiversity, ecological networks, and ecosystem functions. Understanding these shifts is crucial for conserving biodiversity and sustaining ecosystems in mountain regions
Strongly Heterogeneous Surface-Water Warming Trends in High Mountain Asia
Surface water is rapidly warming across High Mountain Asia
Effects of climate change on biological soil crusts and their ecosytem services in alpine regions.
This project explores how climate change affects biocrusts in alpine regions through field experiments and deep-learning image analyses, offering insights into their resilience and ecosystem roles.
Managing invasive Bracken fern (P.aquilinum) in the Mulanje Mountain Forest Reserve: A macroinvertebrate trait based
Mulanje Mountain Forest Reserve in southern Malawi faces increasing threats from Pteridium aquilinum. This study uses drone mapping and macroinvertebrate assessments to examine its spread.
Forest stand characteristics and salvage logging strategies affect the dynamics of post-windthrow vegetation trajectories
Satellite imagery combined with field observations proves effective for monitoring forest recovery after wind disturbances across large geographic areas and over multiple years.
