Classifying glacier elevation change patterns improves model selection, enhancing prediction accuracy and supporting AI-based automatic analysis using distinct models for different dynamic processes.
Modeling Climate Impacts on Glacier Evolution and Water Balance in the Issyk-Kul Basin, Kyrgyzstan
The past and future hydrology of the Issyk-Kul basin is modeled by coupling MATILDA and GloGEM. We evaluate cryospheric contributions and explore methods for simulating ungauged catchments.
Building glacier velocity time series with a uniform sampling interval of six days or less from scene-pair velocity maps
A novel method extracts glacier velocity time series with uniform intervals, improving seasonal analysis. Validated in High Mountain Asia, it refines uncertainty using Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data.
The impact of past droughts in the Central Apennines
We investigate the effects of droughts on the hydrological cycle and vegetation of the italian Apennines using the ecohydrological model Tethys-Chloris.
Toward seasonal forecasting of snow depth, SWE and discharge in the Po River basin (Italy)
The SPHERE project uses Copernicus global seasonal forecasts and innovative snow-hydrological models to generate km-resolution seasonal predictions of snow water equivalent and river discharge, to sup
Harnessing Citizen Science to Monitor and Preserve Mountain Water Resources: the Acqua Sorgente project
A Citizen Science project launched by the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) in 2024 monitors mountain spring water resources, fosters awareness, and aims to expand its open-source database across Europe
“Acts of God” or avoidable political hazards: The making of Sikkim’s catastrophic dam-break disaster and learning from it.
Dams are often lauded as engineering marvels, but dam breaks are conveniently clubbed into the category acts of God occurring under force majeure, shifting accountability from human to nonhuman causes
Temperature as an indicator for surface water-groundwater interaction in a semi-arid high mountain river (Sierra Nevada, southern Spain)
Groundwater plays a crucial role in regulating water flux and temperatures in high mountain rivers, mitigating climate change impacts, and ensuring the maintenance of the associated aquatic ecosystems
Baseline Wetland Mapping and Degradation Assessment in the Maloti-Drakensberg: Foundations for Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research and Conservation
This study establishes a baseline for wetland mapping and degradation assessment in the Maloti-Drakensberg, providing critical insights for long-term socio-ecological research and future conservation
Impact of drought on the condition of forest ecosystems in the Western Sudetes, Poland
Global warming in the Sudetes has caused different growth responses of spruce depending on water availability: from optimum to growth reduction of up to -40% on the southern slopes of the massif.
