Micro-hydroelectric systems (≤20 kW, ≤50 l/sec) can provide sustainable energy for Alpine communities. The study examines feasibility, ecological impact and cooperative management in a changing climat
Future Conflicts on the Horizon: Anthropogenic Pressure May Drive Himalayan Bears into Human Habitation in the Greater Himalayas
Present study provided the intricate ecology of Himalayan bears which may came into the intensive conflict with humans because of the increasing anthropogenic stress in their habitat.
Climate Change and Increasing Anthropogenic Pressure: Impact on Biodiversity and Stability of the Western Ghats Mountain Ecosystem
This study focuses on the impact of climate change and environmental degradation on the stability and biodiversity of the Western Ghats Mountain and its forests and analyses the related policies.
Bedload transport capacity evolution under climate change in Alpine catchments
In glacierized catchments, bedload transport capacity is controlled by snow- and icemelt water. We estimate here the evolution of maximum bedload volumes under the action of climate change.
