Tectonic stress influences groundwater flow in mountain environments by altering bedrock hydraulic properties. This study models these effects, revealing significant impacts on groundwater discharge a
Adaptation Pathways to foster Water Governance under Climate Change in Mountain Regions: A case study from Valle dei Laghi (Italy)
This study develops adaptation pathways to support sustainable water governance in mountain areas, balancing competing demands through stakeholder engagement and innovative solutions.
Sediment flux and path-length validation in a large Alpine River: the Tagliamento
We combine field morphological measurements with numerical simulations to validate sediment movements in the Tagliamento River.
Snow droughts in the extratropical Andes Cordillera: perspective from 60-year physically based hydrological modelling
The 2010 megadrought in the extratropical Andes is a dry-and-warm snow drought. Less snow, more evaporation and less runoff (scaled, i.e., efficiencies) compound the drought propagation after 2010.
Assessing Drought in the Garhwal Himalayas Using Remote Sensing Indices and AHP
Drought is an emerging environmental concern in Himalayan regions, driven by climate variability, changing rainfall patterns and anthropogenic impacts such as deforestation and land use change
Seasonal predictions of meteorological and snow depth anomalies: skill assessment in the Alpine Region
We assess the skill of seasonal forecast systems in predicting meteorological anomalies and snow water equivalent in the Alpine region, improving drought risk assessment and hydrological forecasting.
Impacts of triple-dip La Niña on the Andean climate
This study investigates the response of the Andean regional climate to the rare triple-dip La Niña events and the associated implications on the water reserves.
Alpine Springs are often underestimated: Science and awareness raising
Springs provide valuable habitats for endangered species provide drinking water but face human impact. Using research, trails and educational materials were created to raise awareness for springs.
Rural livelihood challenges amidst climate change: A case study of rural farming communities in Sindhupalchowk, Nepal
Decline in rainfall has various socioeconomic and environmental impacts, including outmigration. The piecemeal interventions have not yielded desirable outcomes, thus, require an integrated approach.
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.
