Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

Rapid permafrost thaw in the high-latitude and high-elevation areas increases hillslope
susceptibility to landsliding by altering geotechnical properties of hillslope materials …

The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

Rockfall is one of the main phenomena in mountainous environments due to its fast and
high speed of movement, its unpredictability, and, therefore, the difficulty of identifying signs …

Under a warming climate, permafrost degradation has resulted in profound hydrogeological
consequences. Here, we mainly review 240 recent relevant papers. Permafrost degradation …

Alps are an important geographical area of the European continent and, in this area,
temperature increase is most evident. However, the 1991–2020 climate normal in the Alps …

Earth's climate is warming and will continue to warm as the century progresses. High
mountains and high latitudes are experiencing the greatest warming of all regions on Earth …

Mountain permafrost is sensitive to climate change and is expected to gradually degrade in
response to the ongoing atmospheric warming trend. Long-term monitoring of the permafrost …

Rockfall is a common hazard along US Interstate Highway 70 in Glenwood Canyon,
Colorado. While natural rock slopes source a substantial number of rockfalls, there remains …

Rockfall in high-mountain regions is thought to be changing due to accelerating climate
warming and permafrost degradation, possibly resulting in enhanced activity and larger …
