Climatic variation, solute concentration and solute flux in meltwaters draining from an alpine glacier
… of concentration. Since the 1970s, in the European Alps, warming air temperatures have resulted in increases in discharge from glacierised catchments.

PLANT AND ARTHROPOD COMMUNITIES OF ALPINE ICE-RELATED LANDFORMS: ECOLOGICAL AND BIOGEOGRAPHIC IMPORTANCE
… in peripheral mountain chains (Maritime Alps and Apennines, Italy, respectively). In these studies also important environmental parameters (e.g. debris thickness, soil temperatures and chemical parameters) have been correlated with biological communities. Study 3.3 focuses on glacial …

The assimilation of surface observations in the European Alpine region
… (WRF) model for a domain encompassing the European Alps. Surface observations from official observational networks and privately owned Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) are assimilated via the 3DVAR algorithm in this operational chain to obtain refined weather forecasts at the convective …

A 7000 yr runoff chronology from varved sediments of Lake Mondsee (Upper Austria)
… from the pre-Alpine Lake Mondsee (Northeast European Alps), which covered the last 7000 years. This sediment record consists of calcite varves and intercalated detrital layers, which range in thickness from 0.05 to 32 mm. Detrital layer deposition was analysed by a combined method of …

Resurvey of a GLORIA Target Region in the Swiss National Park
… and limiting ecological factors. Therefore, the European Alps is one of the best observed ecosystems where many studies figured out how climate change is affecting biodiversity. Probably the biggest and most well-known project is the GLORIA-Europe initiative established by Prof. Dr. Georg …

Is Alnus viridis 'a' glacial relict in the Black Forest ?
… Alder (A. viridis) from the Black Forest and the European Alps. Looking at the photomorphogenesis as an indicative trait to test, whether the divergence between the Alpine and the Black-Forest population of Green Alder has already resulted in adaptive changes related to the changed habitat …

Quantifying supraglacial debris thickness at local to regional scales
… local scale on glaciers in the Himalaya and the European Alps by manual excavation and by ground-penetrating radar (GPR). Second, it uses some of these field measurements to test and develop thermal remote sensing approaches to quantifying supraglacial debris thickness at the glacier scale. …

Experimental investigation of the fluid driven carbonation of serpentinites and spinel-peridotites: implications for the carbon and trace element cycle in the forearc region of the mantle wedge
… carbonated high pressure rocks from the Western European Alps. The volatile composition of experimentally derived fluids is quantified in an optimized analytical set up and measurement procedure using gas chromatography. Solids are examined by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, FE-EPMA, EPMA and …

Assessing natural risks for railway infrastructure and transportation in Austria
… impacts of climate change. In this context, the European Alps areas are constantly disclosed as being particularly sensitive. In order to enhance the resilience of societies to natural hazards, risk assessments are substantial as they can deliver comprehensive risk information to be used as a …

Intermontane valley fills
… sediments that are stored in the entire European Alps. A comparison with data from exploratory drillings and from geophysical surveys revealed that the model reproduces the measurements with a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 70m and a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.81. I used …
