This study compares Pléiades PHR and Neo for snow depth mapping, showing Neo’s improved resolution and validating an automated cross-matching approach for precise, repeatable mapping in alpine terrain
Towards co-produced water management pathways to counteract deteriorating mountain water quality in the deglaciating Andes of Peru
We showcase the deglaciating Negro river catchment in Peru to disentangle the complex interactions between glacier retreat and changes in water quality in the context of long-term human health.
Snow-eater heatwaves of western North America
Snow-eater heatwaves have been less studied than rain-on-snow events, yet have the potential to increase in area, duration, frequency, and/or intensity in a rapidly changing climate.
Inferring precipitation information from multi-year aerial snow depth observations to improve input quality to a snow energy balance model
This work evaluates using snow distribution maps to inform precipitation input of a spatially distributed snow energy balance model to improve simulated snow depth across snow seasons.
Introducing Sentinel-1 SAR wet snow maps for glaciohydrological model calibration in the Himalaya-Karakoram
Present study demonstrates the use of Sentinel-1 SAR wet snow maps for calibrating the glaciohydrological model parameters for improving runoff estimates in data-scarce glacierized catchments.
Drying Natural Springs in Hindu Kush Himalaya and its Implication for Water, Food and Livelihood Security in Mountains and Densely Populated Lowlands under Climate Change
Land use intensifications and climate change depleted natural springs in HKH reducing water availability and undermining food and livelihood security of poor people both in mountains and lowlands
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.
Understanding and responding to climate change mediated forest decline: a case study in Australian snow gums
Climate mediated forest decline is a global issue, one that is particularly impactful in mono-dominant stands like the Australia snow gums.
Observing Snowfall Using High Altitude Lakes: an Example from Rofental, Alps
We describe how our method uses frozen lakes as sensing surfaces, avoiding notable measurement biases of pluviometers and snow pillows and, most importantly, covering a very much larger surface area.
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.
