Tropical mountain environments, such as the Rwenzori Mountains in equatorial Africa, are
thought to be particularly sensitive to climate change. Ongoing warming in the Rwenzori is …

Aim Species living on steep environmental gradients are expected to be especially sensitive
to global climate change, but little is known about the factors influencing their responses to …

This paper explores a variety of different attempts to reconstruct Quaternary environments in
East and North Africa during the last century or so and shows how the research on African …

Fresh glacial landforms of the Alpine forelands evidence the presence and extent of large
piedmont glaciers during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and yield valuable insights into …

Natural and social scientists everywhere are struggling to understand how to proceed in the
face of continued biodiversity loss and the injustices brought upon people living in and …

Quantifying the timing and extent of Quaternary mountain glaciations can help us in
understanding the cause of ice-age cycles. As such, impressive achievements have been …

Climate models and ongoing monitoring studies predict the remaining glaciers in Africa are
predicted to disappear by the middle of the 21st Century. These will likely be the only …

We present a geomorphological map of the Cilo Mountain range located in southeast Turkey
that illustrates the recent evolution of the second-most glacierized area of Turkey. The map …

Tropical mountains and highlands in Africa are under pressure because of anthropogenic
climate and land-use change. To determine the impacts on the afro-alpine environment and …

The Ethiopian Highlands are considered a biodiversity hotspot, harboring a high number of
endemic species. Some of the endemic species probably diversified in situ; this is, for …
