Quantification and social perception analysis of water supply from glaciers in one of the few examples in the Andes Cordillera where the inhabitants almost entirely rely on that water source.
Acceleration of the water cycle in mountains: The role of snow in runoff dynamics
The increasing number of snowmelt periods, including rain-on-snow events, and thus a higher proportion of fast flow in total runoff, may lead to an acceleration of the mountain water cycle.
Snow Variability Analyses Based on CERRA-Land versus Convection Permitting Climate Simulations in the Upper Euphrates Basin
Snow cover in the Upper Euphrates Basin has declined with earlier snowmelt and a shorter snow season. Future projections indicate further reductions, emphasizing the basin’s increasing vulnerability.
What will alpine grassland look like at the end of the 21st century?
Root growth responses in alpine grassland to summer drought depend on its duration. The long winters contribute to root losses in combination with severe drought in the preceding growing season.
Changing ablation patterns on glaciers in the Alps and Karakoram observed by means of Sentinel-2 data
Time series of glacier surface classifications in the Alps and Karakoram from Sentinel-2 data enhance our understanding of a changing climate and its impacts on glaciers across various climate zones.
Territorial transition in Ligurian Alps. The case of BeyondSnow Alpine Space Project
In the contribution, it is presented the theoretical and methodological approach of analysis and the co-design laboratorial activities applied in the research action developed in the pilot area.
Community Vulnerability to Changing Mountain Snowpacks in Canada
This presentation examines how two mountain communities located in the Robson Valley, B.C., Canada, are experiencing and responding to changes in mountain snowpack and freshwater availability.
Monitoring, participating, and communicating mountain hazards: lessons from recent snow droughts in the Italian Alps
In recent winters, drought reduced SWE in the Italian Alps by 60%, causing water crises in the Po River. CIMA launched a campaign, supported by S3M Italy & IT-SNOW, to raise awareness of snow sc
Streamflow generation and wetland sustenance in the High and Dry Andes: The role of permafrost and high elevation cryosphere moisture sources
Perennially flowing low elevation streams is predominantly derived from strongly seasonal high elevation precipitation in the glacier-free high and dry Andes (Puna-Altiplano).
Snow-eater heatwaves of western North America
Snow-eater heatwaves have been less studied than rain-on-snow events, yet have the potential to increase in area, duration, frequency, and/or intensity in a rapidly changing climate.
