Surface water is rapidly warming across High Mountain Asia
Artificial Intelligence at the service of Rural Youth
AI-driven tools can enhance rural youth agency by improving access to knowledge, opportunities, and decision-making. This research examines existing AI applications and proposes innovative roles to AI
Forest stand characteristics and salvage logging strategies affect the dynamics of post-windthrow vegetation trajectories
Satellite imagery combined with field observations proves effective for monitoring forest recovery after wind disturbances across large geographic areas and over multiple years.
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.
Sustaining Himalayan Springs: Participatory Approaches to Springshed Management in Khirsu Block, Uttarakhand
Springs serve as the vital freshwater sources in the Indian Himalayas, sustaining both ecological systems and human settlements.
Impact of climate change on snow cover in the Pyrenees, Alps, and Andes Mountains, derived from 40 years of Landsat data
Trends of snow cover based on high resolution 40 year Landsat time series for the Alps, Pyrenees, and Andes Mountains
Spatio-temporal assessment of areal fragmentation and volume of snow cover in the central Himalaya
The thick snow cover has been reduced at a higher rate in the last 30 years and replaced by thin snow cover expansion. Snow cover thinning and splitting is prominent, especially at lower altitudes.
Numerical multiscale modelling and monitoring of landslide hazard in Georgia
high-risk landslide zones identified by the FSLAM model. Surface deformation, pore water pressure monitored outdoors. RAMMS simulations investigate reactivation mechanisms under different condition
Characterizing tree line vegetation using terrestrial laser scanning and non-linear models in Nepalese mountain
Treeline vegetation varies significantly with climate and elevation, with dry-region forests of mountains being less diverse but more structurally complex, reflecting environmental adaptation.
