Cold regions hold vast soil carbon pools, but their stability under climate change remains uncertain. We mapped SOC stocks across the Swiss Alps, highlighting alpine grasslands’ role in carbon budgets
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.
Resilience of small alpine Armenian lakes to climate change
Rapid melting of Caucasian glaciers and snowfields has changed lake catchments and lacustrine ecosystems on Armenian highland. Several small glaciers on Virahayots, Gugarats, and Zangezur ridges were
Radar-based Detection of Water films for Gliding Snow – A laboratory Approach
Radar-Measurements offers the possibility to detect the water film between the snowcover and the soil. Lab testing and machine learning define the necessary parameters for the water film detection.
