This presentation makes the link between social innovation, heritage and local development through the wool industry, showing the differences and complementarities between French and Italian Alps.
Dynamics of Saturated Areas and Water Table Levels in High-Andean Wetlands of the Southern Peruvian Andes (2020-2021)
This study analyses the relationship between the variation of saturated area and water tables in Andean wetlands (2020-2021) by remote sensing, demonstrating the seasonal dynamics over the years.
Hills and mountain ranges in Mexico Basin, an opportunity to conservation.
The mountains and ranges of the Basin of Mexico fulfill important functions for its more than 20 million inhabitants. They are a refuge for biodiversity and historical and cultural landmarks.
Citizen Voices: a transdisciplinary experiment for a sustainable transition in the Vercors range
This communication present the result of a transdisciplinary research called ‘citizen voices’ developed in the Vercors mountain range , in order to understand the prospective visions of the residents.
Adapted spatial planning instruments and nature based solutions to protect against natural hazards in mountainous areas – solutions for civil society in selected catchments in the LTSER Eisenwurzen
Mountain regions are vulnerable due to climate,natural hazards and settlement expansion. Solutions for civil society against natural hazards & natural resources management are analysed in catchments
Hearing the grass grow: advances in alpine grassland phenology
Grassland phenology as measured automatically with ultrasonic snow sensors during 25 years shows an advance of 2.4 days per decade.
Fine-scale tree cover changes in Switzerland in 40 years: impacts for biodiversity and carbon storage
We analyzed tree cover change during 40 years (10m resolution) in Switzerland and hence can specify hotspots of woody encroachment, which is relevant for carbon biodiversity change and carbon storage
Grazing for Science – long-term re-grazing on a formerly abandoned mountain pasture in the calcareous Northern Alps (Germany) and its impacts on biodiversity, nutrient storage and nitrogen outflow
A re-grazing-experiment in the calcareous Northern Alps (Germany) on a formerly abandoned pasture was performed to analyze impacts of re-grazing on biodiversity, nutrient storage and nitrogen outflow.
Middle Pleistocene to the Early Holocene human occupation of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau
In this presentation, I report our recent multidisciplinary studies on several Paleolithic and Epiplaleolithic sites in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, including Baishiya Karst Cave site and so on.
Rockfall Hazard Assessment and Propagation Modeling: A Comparative Study of Static Block Remobilization in Manikaran, NW Himalaya, India
Manikaran, NW Himalaya, experiences frequent rockfalls, including a deadly 2015 event. A novel rockfall propagation model simulates this hazard by considering the impact of pre-fragmented rock mass.
