Climate change threatens water security in Southern Ecuador. We aim to develop climate and hydrological projections and adaptation strategies by involving academia, citizens and policymakers.
Measuring Annual Fluctuations in Water Budget of Beas River Basin, Western Himalaya
It was observed that the water balance in the Upper basin consistently remains positive throughout the year, while the Lower basin shows a positive water balance in the months of July and August only.
The Effects of Meltwater Source on Alpine Aquatic Ecosystems in the Intermountain West
Our research explores the effects of the declining mountain cryosphere on the biogeochemical and physical processes within headwater streams in the Intermountain West of the United States.
Seasonal origin of water in a mountain grassland: effects of the 2022 European drought
Stable water isotopes are used to infer the seasonal origin of water used by plants in a mountain environment. Interannual variations of such seasonal origin are investigated.
Social relevance of glaciers water supply in the Central Andes (~33ºS)
Quantification and social perception analysis of water supply from glaciers in one of the few examples in the Andes Cordillera where the inhabitants almost entirely rely on that water source.
Acceleration of the water cycle in mountains: The role of snow in runoff dynamics
The increasing number of snowmelt periods, including rain-on-snow events, and thus a higher proportion of fast flow in total runoff, may lead to an acceleration of the mountain water cycle.
Global variability and future changes in mountain runoff contributions to lowland water use
This study investigates the contribution of mountain runoff to lowland water use in river basins worldwide, focusing on its seasonality, interannual variability and potential future changes.
