We investigate the active layer dynamics and permafrost-induced degradation in the Himalayas using field surveys, remote sensing, and machine learning.
Springs Above the Tree-line (SAT): An international collaborative scientific network to foster high-elevation springs as the last frontier of spring ecosystem conservation
SAT project studies high-elevation springs,analysing hydrochemistry, diatoms, and vegetation, with sampling across Europe, North America, and Himalaya for long-term ecological monitoring and research.
Patterns of vegetation development and species composition in glacier forefields of the Northern Limestone Alps
Four glacier forefields in the Northern Limestone Alps were equipped with a monitoring platform, using the chronosequence approach to study vegetation development and composition.
Mapping Glacier Foreland Features and their Evolution Using Earth Observation Data
We use optical and SAR EO data to map and monitor landform features in glacier forelands, providing insights into landscape evolution and supporting alpine infrastructure management in changing
Combining signal-to-noise ratio and tropospheric delays from GNSS to observe severe thunderstorm events: Case studies from the Alpine region
Severe thunderstorm events over the Alpine region are analysed using signal-to-noise ratio and tropospheric delays from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
Austria’s Cryosphere in Focus: KryoMon.AT – a new initiative to present the state of the cryosphere to stakeholders and the public
KryoMon.AT standardizes and integrates long-term cryosphere data (glaciers, snow, lake ice, and permafrost) in Austria, enhancing accessibility for science, policymakers, and the public.
Essential Variables for the rEmote characterisation and monitoRing of mountain EcosystemS along a biogeographical gradienT: from data to decision making (EVEREST).
EVEREST project brings together scientists and managers in the co-design, co-production, and validation of methodological framework to provide remote-sensing essential biodiversity variables.
Structural, glaciological, and geomorphological mapping of Himalayan glaciers
This study attempts to quantify the drivers of and impacts of glacier disconnection and fragmentation on ice masses in the Himalaya.
Natural Hazards, Climate Change, and Criminal Liability: Challenges and Legal Frameworks
Climate change transforms natural hazard risks, raising legal questions about responsibility, liability, and the role of emerging technologies.
Application of the Random Forest classification algorithm with radar images in the mapping of the glacier cover of the Cordillera Blanca
This study was conducted in the Cordillera Blanca and evaluated Sentinel-1 images with Random Forest, seeking to optimize monitoring and improve the accuracy of glacier mapping.
