Hydrology
Created on: Thursday, 02 May 2013Die Bedeutung alpiner Einzugsgebiete für den Wasserhaushalt und Wassernutzung (auch für die Vorländer und nicht-alpinen Regionen) ist allgemein anerkannt. Der Einfluss des Klimawandels auf alpine Wasserressourcen, Abflussentstehung und öko-hydrologische Prozesse ist bereits vielfach Untersucht worden. Oftmals überwiegen allerdings Daten- und Modellunsicherheiten, oder... -

Changes in the Mountain Cryosphere and Their Downstream Impacts
Created on: Tuesday, 07 February 2012All mountain regions of the world have experienced the effects of global warming, with the recession of glaciers, loss of permafrost, changes in the seasonality of runoff, shifts in the upper limits of plants and animals, and in the biodiversity of alpine lakes and streams. Although these changes are commonly viewed as issues that are only of relevance to the high mountains, they have in fact important implications for areas downslope and... -

Qualities, vulnerabilities and management of Ecosystem services in mountain regions worldwide
Created on: Tuesday, 12 July 2011Mountain regions worldwide are assumed to provide a wide range and a large quantity of ecosystem services. The provisioning as well as the demand of ecosystem services underlie rapid changes due to the particularly speed of global change including climate and socio-economic change in mountain regions. Climate and land use change tend to put the provisioning of services at risk, while increasing population within mountain regions and their... -

Urban Growth in High Mountains: Understanding the Process and Options for Management under Global Change
Created on: Friday, 10 June 2011Urban development has emerged one of the most important global change drivers influencing the mountain regions not only in the North American and Europe but also in developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America where mountain regions offer high value human habitat and where urban growth has been rapid and mostly unplanned. Urbanization as a general term covers a variety of dynamics. Large cities proximate to the mountains expand... -
Mountain forests / Forêts de montagne
Created on: Wednesday, 25 May 2011Français à la suite Forests are the most common land cover of mountains in Europe (in the wide sense), covering 41% of the total area, according to the European Environmental Agency (Europe's ecological backbone: recognising the true value of our mountains, 2010). Mountain forests provide multiple functions, essential for human activities. These include not only the production of wood (particularly valuable for construction and energy) but... -
Zrównoważony rozwój obszarów górskich - polska perspektywa
Created on: Monday, 09 May 2011Choć statystyki mówią, że średnia wysokość dla Polski to tylko 173 m n.p.m., nie trzeba nikogo przekonywać, że góry stanowią niezwykle istotny fragment naszego kraju. Jakie wyzwania stoją przed obszarami górskimi w Polsce? W jakim kierunku zachodzą zmiany i czy mają one odzwierciedlenie w różnego rodzaju politykach czy strategiach rozwoju? Czy realizowane w obszarach górskich badania naukowe pozwalają odpowiedzieć na ważne dla praktyków... -
Mountains and GIS
Created on: Thursday, 05 May 2011Mountains mostly mean diversity – both environmental and social. How to present that diversity and try to understand it correctly? Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS&T) may be an answer! In the times of digital data deluge, good choice seems to be critical. Often the questions which practitioners meet in their everyday work are similar – where to find the relevant data, how to estimate their quality, how to analyse them... -
