Glacier retreat alters alpine stream food webs by enhancing periphyton growth and shifting invertebrate biomass and fatty acid composition, with potential consequences for energy transfer and ecosyste
Ten transition strategies for ten snow tourism destinations: strengthening resilience regarding CC-induced ecologic & socioeconomic effects.
Ten Alpine winter destinations developed ten adaptation strategies to enhance climate resilience, addressing ecological and socio-economic impacts of reduced snow cover.
Can Microbes Inform about Vulnerability of Spring Waters — Assessment of Microbial Communities and Water Quality in Austrian Springs
Climate change threatens alpine springs, vital freshwater sources. ECOSPRING explores impacts on water quality and microbial life, guiding conservation in Austria’s changing landscapes.
The resilient farmer, or spacetime entanglement
A mountain farmer and resilience researcher present their joint work of looked beyond representational resilience capacities (what makes mountain farming resilient) to cobecoming with the world.
Insights into Atmospheric Composition and Climate Variability in Caucasus Ice Cores and Snow Pits via Trace Element Analysis
The study examines trace element variability, sources, and climate impacts in the Caucasus mountain glaciers compared to Alpine data.
From Geoecology, to Landscape Ecology, to Montology on the shoulders of a giant
Jack D. Ives made mountain geographies today to be interwoven in the disciplinary flow of theories, methods, and techniques for the convergent science of mountains, a.k.a. montology.
Thermal benefits of breeding inside rock cavities for high elevation songbirds
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
Political ecologies of emergent social-natural spaces after ice loss: A new research framework for post-glacial landscapes
We argue that post-glacial landscapes (PGL) are central social-natural spaces shaped by the global dynamics of the capitalist planetary metabolism
From Ladakh to the Andes: Indigenous Water Management Strategies for Climate Adaptation
Indigenous mountain communities use traditional water management techniques, like ice stupas in Ladakh and rainwater harvesting in the Andes, to enhance climate resilience and sustain ecosystems.
