Climate (im)mobilities in the Eastern Hindu Kush
The relationship between climate, environment, and human mobility is complex as (im)mobility outcomes are influenced by multiple socioeconomic, political, and environmental factors. The current debate is focused on migration as an adaptation strategy in the face of climate change but largely ignores the immobility aspect, particularly in the Eastern Hindu Kush where mountain livelihoods are strongly dependent on local environmental conditions. In…
Natural Hazards under Climate Change Conditions
Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of certain kinds of natural hazard events in alpine areas. This interdisciplinary study addresses the hypothetical possibility of relocating the residents of three alpine areas in Austria: the Sölk valleys, the Johnsbach valley, and the St. Lorenzen/Schwarzenbach valleys. Our particular focus is on these residents’ expectations about such relocations. We find that (1) many residents expect that…
Rapid lake infill following major rockfall (bergsturz) events revealed by ground-penetrating radar (GPR) measurements, Reintal, German Alps
The capability of GPR (ground-penetrating radar) measurements to decipher the sedimentary history of young alluvial plains is investigated. The sediment basins result from the infill of two lakes, which were dammed by high-magnitude rockfalls 400—600 and 200 years ago in an Alpine trough valley. The thickness and structure of the dammed sediments was derived from a series of longitudinal and cross profiles. In order to take advantage of both high…
Mass movement processes in unconsolidated Pleistocene sediments
How wet are these walls? Testing a novel technique for measuring moisture in ruined walls
Rock Moisture Fluctuations During Freeze-thaw Cycles
Electrical resistivity measurements were carried out to establish rock moisture variations at limestone rockwalls of the northern Alps. Temporal moisture fluctuations were derived from transitional resistivity measurements with the aid of data loggers, while the small-scale spatial moisture variations were fixed by 2D-geoelectrical measurements (ERT). Both methods provide evidence of an increasing hydraulic pressure level during freezing. Pore wa…
