Climate change is expected to reduce water security in arid mountain regions around the
world. Vulnerable water supplies in semi-arid zones, such as the Dry Andes, are projected to …

Abstract Relics of World War One (WW1) were buried in alpine glaciers around 100 years
ago. Today, these are emerging from the ice due to widespread glacier retreat, and are in …

Ground surface temperature (GST), measured at approximately 5 cm in depth, is a key
controlling parameter for subsurface biophysical processes at the land–atmosphere …

Geotechnical problems in extremely complex environments have become increasingly
prominent, which raises the need to explore more efficient solutions. Multidisciplinary …

The northwestern (NW) Himalayan region, which has a semi-arid to dry climate, is
climatologically very fragile and susceptible to future drought conditions. The limited …

Alpine soils can provide valuable paleo-environmental information, representing a powerful
tool for paleoclimate reconstruction. However, since Pleistocene glaciations and erosion …

High-resolution temporal measurements in remote, high-elevation surface waters are
required to better understand the dynamics of nitrate (NO 3−) in response to changes in …

Abstract The European Alps cover an area of 190,900 km2, are arcuated in the western part,
extend over a length of 1200 km, are up to 280 km wide, and reach their highest elevation at …

Ground surface temperature (GST), measured at approximately 5 cm in depth is a key
parameter controlling subsurface biophysical processes at the land-atmosphere boundary …

Active rock glaciers—known as mixtures of unconsolidated debris with interstitial ice, ice
lenses or a core of massive ice—are widespread indicators of mountain permafrost. The age …
