  • Global knowledge–action networks at the frontlines of sustainability

    Open AccessAlicia Donnellan Barraclough, Maureen G Reed et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Generating actionable knowledge to meet current sustainability challenges requires unprecedented collaboration across scales, geographies, cultures and knowledges. Intergovernmental programmes and place‐based knowledge–action networks have much potential to mobilize sustainability transformation. Although many research fields have benefited from research networks and comparative sites, the potential of site‐based research networks for generating …

  • Lived experiences of ‘peak water’ in the high mountains of Nepal and Peru

    Open AccessGary Mcdowell, Michele Koppes et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2022

    Peak water describes the hydrological response of glacier-fed rivers to climate change, indicating that warming first drives increasing discharge until a glacier mass loss threshold is surpassed and discharge falls below values observed prior to contemporary climate warming. Although the physical principles of peak water are well understood and accepted, there remains little empirical work evaluating how hydrological dynamics associated with peak…

  • The International Mountain Conference, Innsbruck, Austria, September 2019 (IMC2019)

    Open AccessMartin F Price, Wolfgang Gurgiser et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2022

    This paper presents a synthesis of the outcomes of sessions and recommendations for future research in mountain areas from the International Mountain Conference (IMC), held in Innsbruck, Austria, in September 2019. The thematic sections of the paper consider: first, the paleosciences, particularly archaeology; second, (bio)physical systems—the climate system, the cryo- and hydrosphere, and the biosphere—and their relationships with human systems;…

  • Ecosystem service coproduction across the zones of biosphere reserves in Europe

    Open AccessJulia Palliwoda, Julia Fischer et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2021

    Biosphere reserves (BR) balance biodiversity protection and sustainable use through different management restrictions in three zones: core areas, buffer zones, and transition areas. Information about the links between zoning and ecosystem services (ES) is lacking, particularly in terms of the relative roles of natural contributions (ecosystem properties and functions) and anthropogenic contributions (human inputs such as technology and infrastruc…

  • Mountain Geography

    Martin F Price, Alton C Byers et al.BOOKMountain Geography2019

    Mountains cover a quarter of the Earth’s land surface and a quarter of the global population lives in or adjacent to these areas. The global importance of mountains is recognized particularly because they provide critical resources, such as water, food and wood; contain high levels of biological and cultural diversity; and are often places for tourism and recreation and/or of sacred significance. This major revision of Larry Price’s book Mountain…

  • Identifying Paths to Successful Higher Education for Girls in the Solukhumbu District, Nepal

    Open AccessSally E Wier, Martin F PriceARTICLEMountain Research and Development2019

    Economic, social, cultural, and geographic barriers exist in rural Nepal that prevent many girls from successfully reaching higher levels of education. This research was conducted with the aim of identifying the enabling environments and support systems that have allowed girls from the rural and mountainous Solukhumbu District of Nepal to successfully reach “college”-level education in class levels 11 and 12, despite the presence of extant barrie…

  • Bruno Messerli, 1931-2019

    Open AccessMartin F PriceARTICLEGeographical Journal2019

    Bruno Messerli was a pioneering geographer and an exceptional person. Although he spent almost all of his long academic career – more than six decades from student to Professor Emeritus – based at the Institute of Geography at the University of Bern, his impacts have gone far beyond Switzerland and geography. Bruno's doctoral and postdoctoral research, from 1958 to 1976, focused on the glacial and post-glacial history of the mountains around the …

  • Mountains Move Up the European Agenda

    Open AccessMartin F PriceARTICLEMountain Research and Development2016

    Mountain areas cover a significant proportion of the European continent. Within the European Union (EU), many of the newest Member States have particularly high proportions of mountainous land. Ongoing debates in the EU relate to perceptions of mountains as being “handicapped” or marginalized versus having specific development opportunities, and to the challenges of climate change and other global changes. In 2015 and 2016, these issues have been…

    Des recherches récentes ont mis en valeur l’existence d’une demande significative en denrées alimentaires originaires des montagnes européennes. La production de ces aliments va de pair avec des externalités positives, bien que leurs producteurs soient confrontés à de plus grandes contraintes que leurs homologues des plaines. Les marchés sont souvent défaillants pour compenser ces contraintes du fait de l’absence de définition claire des produits…
