We review knowledge and research gaps on high-Andean tropical peatlands, focusing specifically on identified threats and management/governance strategies that enhance their socio-ecological resilience
Geospatial Solutions for Landslide Risk Assessment and Mitigation Strategy
This research uses GIS, RS, and multi-scale modeling for landslide risk assessment and promotes rainwater harvesting as a mitigation strategy to enhance slope stability and disaster resilience.
Fungi in pine forest regeneration at the upper tree line under the climate change
To better understand the diversity, composition and possible roles, communities of fungi associated with Pinus heldreichii and P. peuce were studied in high-altitude forest sites in Montenegro.
Distilling at Altitude: Whisky Tourism in the Mountains
The Lyng Alps lie c.2 hours north of Tromsø, a city impacted by the rise of mass cold tourism in recent years. Spreading tourism around the region is of paramount importance for local communities.
From Risk to Vision: Participatory Foresight for climate resilience in South Tyrol
Mountain-top bird species face extreme conditions, shaping breeding site selection. We monitored alpine nests in temperate Andes. Rock cavities buffer temperatures, potentially enhancing breeding success and adaptation to harsh weather
Are we there yet: estimating long-distance migration corridors in the Andes mountains using energetic and pheric-distance models
Corridor analysis using pheric-distance and energetic parameters show how topographic anisotropy shapes movement through mountain environments, yielding models with explanatory and predictive power
Grassland bud and shoot demographic responses to single and recurrent droughts vary across an aridity gradient
Responses of bud and shoot demographic to single and recurrent droughts across four grasslands along an aridity gradient
Understanding climate change impacts and adaptation through Cultural Keystone Places: Inuit Knowledge and repeat photography in Nunatsiavut
This talk will present findings from both Inuit Knowledge and photo pair analysis, revealing the long-term impacts of socio-ecological change and their implications for climate adaptation planning.
Communities’ agency and narratives in the care of low mountain Heritage landscapes
Low mountain communities within semi-abandoned landscape bet on shared heritage care and local knowledge for future-focused, community-driven solutions, contrasting with high-altitude tourism.
