Climate warming increases mountain hazards. Unstable slopes, heavy rain, and risky development fuel disasters. Monitoring, zoning, and early warnings can reduce losses and protect communities.
Mountain disasters and local population: a dual monitoring approach.
Mountain disasters will become increasingly frequent. To assure the safety of the local population, a dual approach should be adopted: monitoring of the phenomena and the socio-economic fragilities.
From Participation to Sustainable Futures: Anchoring Transdisciplinary Research for Touristic Mountain Regions
A transdisciplinary tourism project in alpine Switzerland demonstrates how structured, multi-level participation enhances contextual relevance and stakeholder collaboration, supporting sustainable regional development through locally grounded knowledge and institutional engagement.
Mobility behaviour of trail runners to events: the dominance of the car and local races offers prospects for a transition to more sustainable events
We think that trail running is marked by heightened environmental awareness, including in terms of mobility. Then, we study this mobilities to trail events to think about more sustainable events.
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
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.
