The communities-in-places perspective show how strategic place-based planning ensuring citizens rights and favouring thriving communities can also lead to sustainable tourism models in low mountains.
Reviving Mountain Ecology through Water Resource Management: Integrating Local Knowledge and Geospatial Tools for Resilience in the Himalayas.
This study integrates local knowledge and geospatial tools to address Himalayan water degradation, using watershed management and community-driven revival of Gad Ganga to propose a scalable framework.
Mapping and quantifying Soil Organic Carbon stocks from the treeline to permafrost regions in the Swiss Alps
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
The Interreg Alpine Space WATERWISE project: Co-designing sustainable management solutions for resilient Alpine headwaters
An innovative and collaborative digital tool to assess the vulnerability of Alpine freshwater toward climate and socio-economic changes and to increase adaptation of Alpine communitites
Title: The Contribution of the New Population to the Resilience of Mountain Communities
This leads to the creation of a positive environment for the reception of new populations.
Mountain Huts Managers as Observers of Overtourism Impacts in Mountain Areas
This study aims to analyse mountain hut managers’ opinions on whether the growing tourism demand is sustainable within its environmental constraints or whether unsustainable impacts are arising.
Beneath the surface: How the declining health of Pinus mugo impairs soil carbon storage
Declining mountain pine health and associated die-off initially increases soil carbon storage, but leads to substantial long-term carbon losses.
A model of mountain social-ecological systems to catalyze multi-actor collaborations towards sustainability
We present a model of Mountain Socio-Ecological Systems based on actors’ representations, which includes a Personal Stance component describing an individual actor’s relationship to the mountains.
SkHyline: A Knowledge-Sharing Platform for Accelerating Green Hydrogen Innovation and Sustainable Economic Growth in the Alps
SkHyline is an online knowledge-sharing platform designed to foster collaboration across the Alps advancing hydrogen technologies implementation to drive regional decarbonization and energy transition
Mountain Huts as Climate Sentinels: Perceptions of Water Scarcity Through Interviews with Hut Managers and Decision-Makers
Located in fragile environments with limited resources, mountain huts are sentinels to changing climate and water scarcity. We conducted interviews with hut managers to explore resilience strategies.
