The differing climatic sensitivity of high-elevation treeline species—Rhododendron campanulatum, tolerant to drought stress, while Abies spectabilis is more susceptible.
Overcoming disciplinary barriers in glacier studies: integration of methodologies and scientific cooperation
TROPIPOLAR-GLASCLIM Project integrates regional models, ML, and field data, while CryoCloud enables advanced simulations, enhancing glacier mass balance research.
Frequency-dependent Climate Signals of Tree-ring Oxygen Isotopes in the western Kunlun and Karakoram Mountains
Tree-ring oxygen isotopes reveal frequency-dependent climate signals, with unexpected warmth during the Little Ice Age, possibly linked to Polar Vortex shifts and strengthened mid-latitude Westerlies
Use of multi-proxy dating approach in defining the timelines of post-LLGM glacial and periglacial processes in the Higher Himalayan Miyar watershed, Chandrabhaga Basin
The study uses multiproxy absolute absolute techniques like OSL, 10Be CRN and 14C Radiocarbon in order to chronologically constrain timelines for glacial, postglacial and periglacial processes.
Hydroclimate Insights from Juniper Tree Rings in Iran’s Mountain Ecosystems
Dendro-hydroclimatic reconstruction shows increasing stress in Iranian mountain ecosystems. Soil moisture deficits impact tree growth, indicating urgent adaptation needs under drying climate scenarios
Drought, Resilience and Conflict in the Pre-Columbian Andes of Capricorn (1000-1500 CE)
This study explores how droughts influenced economic vulnerability, resilience, and social conflicts in the Andes of Capricorn (1000-1500 CE), highlighting regional differences before Inca integration
Pictorial sources in glaciology: from the icy splendour of the Little Ice Age to the melting glaciers of today
Our interdisciplinary approach examines the historical attention by naturalists to glaciers and their visual representation. Historical images are systematically analysed to reconstruct past glaciers.
Long-term ecological insights for managing mountain landscapes in a changing world
Mountain ecosystems face threats from climate and land-use changes. Integrating long-term data with stakeholder knowledge supports resilience, conservation, and sustainable management.
A 500-year climate-vegetation cycle recorded in mountainous northeast Asia over the past 20,000 years
This study reveals a stable 500-year climate-vegetation-human cycle in Northeast Asia over the past 20,000 years, driven by monsoon intensity, vegetation shifts, and prehistoric cultural development.
Global geodatabase of mountain glacier extents at the Last Glacial Maximum
An open-access global geodatabase of LGM mountain glaciers, synthesising over 16,300 reconstructions from 271 ranges to update knowledge, identify research gaps, and support climate–glacier modelling.
