Icy mountains in a warming world
Comparing observed and hypothetical climates as a means of communicating to the public and policymakers
Water availability, use and governance in the wine producing region of Mendoza, Argentina
Assessing climate change impacts on the quantity of water in Alpine regions
Governing and managing water resources under changing hydro-climatic contexts
Is snow in the Alps receding or disappearing
Snow in a populated and economically diverse region such as the Alps plays an important role in both natural environmental systems, (e.g., hydrology and vegetation), and a range of socio‐economic sectors (e.g., tourism or hydropower). Changes in snow amount and duration may impact upon these systems in various ways. The objective of this text is to assess whether the public perception that snow has been receding in recent decades in the European …

Impacts of climatic change on water and natural hazards in the Alps
Climate change and its impacts
The realization that human beings need to be concerned about the only ‘life-support system’ that the Earth and its environment provides stems perhaps in part from the fact that, until fairly recently, the evolution of humankind was largely dependent on the quality of the environment and the resources it provides in terms of water, food, and favourable health conditions. These are as vital as ever, despite current levels of technology and apparent…
Current and Future Trends of Climatic Extremes in Switzerland
This article provides an overview of extreme climatic events that are a feature of current and future climate that require full understanding if they are to be assessed in terms of social and economic costs. A review is made of the type of events that are important in mid-latitudes, with examples taken from the heat waves, floods and wind-storms that have affected Switzerland during the twentieth century. Regional climate model results are also p…
Changement climatique et impacts possibles dans la région alpine
cet article propose un bref aperçu du changement climatique tel qu'il a été observé au cours du XXe siècle dans les régions alpines ainsi que des évolutions pouvant affecter les climats moyen et extrême si l'amplitude et la vitesse de ce que l'on appelle le « réchauffement de la planète » correspondent à celles prévues par de nombreux modèles climatiques. Le changement climatique peut produire un impact significatif sur nombre d'écosystèmes fragi…
Climatic change and its possible impacts in the alpine region
This paper provides a brief overview of climatic change as observed in the 20th century in the alpine region, and the shifts in mean and extreme climates that may occur in coming decades if so-called « global warming » is of the amplitude and speed projected by numerous climate models. The impacts of climatic change may be significant ea many fragile systems in the mountain environments, notably snow and ice, hydrology, vegetation, natural hazard…

Global environmental change in mountain regions
Mountain regions cover 20% of terrestrial land surfaces and represent one of the principle source regions for the world's hydrological Systems. Mountain regions are today under pressure as a result of human interference; climatic change could lead to an additional stress on natural and socio-economic Systems. Paleo-climatic evidence has shown that past climatic change has lead to substantial shifts in the distribution of Vegetation. If the presen…
