To understand alpine warming as the organisms have experienced it, we mechanistically modelled microclimate for the European Alps across four decades, and identified thermally distinct microhabitats.
How does it feel on Alpine summits when you are a bryophyte?
Big difference exists between macroclimate used in studies and microclimate experienced by species. Here, we model microclimate at 1m resolution from in-situ measurements in Valais, Switzerland.
Integrating Process-Based Modelling and Sustainability Indicators: Insights from the SOSFOR Project
The project combines forest ecosystem modelling with social and economic assessments, offering decision-support tools (DSS) for adaptive and climate-smart forestry.
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.
Validation of ICON-LES from HEFEX II field campaign observations
Data from HEFEXII (2023) campaign validated high-res ICON-LES models, improving simulation accuracy of atmosphere-glacier interactions. Results outline strengths and limitations of numerical modeling.
Precipitation and a Central Asian HydroClimate Research Project under the GEWEX Umbrella
Regional Hydroclimate Projects are addressing the observation, modeling and prediction of precipitation in mountainous regions.
Advancing snow representation and regional water budget estimation in complex terrains within the Community Earth System Model
We aim to improve accuracy of terrestrial energy and water budget estimates and hydroclimatic assessments in the Community Terrestrial Systems Model by accounting for terrain characteristics.
Assessment of Hydropower Potential using Glacio-Hydrological Degree Day Model: A Case Study of Budhi-Gandaki River Basin
The Glacio-hydrological Degree-day Model (GDM) is successfully setup to estimate discharge from where hydropower Potential of a glacierized Himalayan river basins was calculated.
Using novel lake-based snowfall measurements in the Alps, Himalayas and Rockies to assess and optimise the representation of snowfall in the MetUM regional atmospheric model at kilometre grid-scales
Snowfall prediction by regional climate models is challenging. This study optimizes the UK Met Office Unified Model using novel lake-based snowfall measurements from the Alps, Himalayas and Rockies.
Climate Change Impacts on Mountain Bioclimatic Zones Using High-Resolution Environmental Stratification
This study applies a statistically derived stratification, based on CMIP6 Earth System Model projections, to assess the magnitude and spatial distribution of bioclimatic shifts in mountains.
