Melting glaciers as symbols of tourism paradoxes
Peak glacier extinction in the mid-twenty-first century
Projections of glacier change typically focus on mass and area loss, yet the disappearance of individual glaciers directly threatens culturally, spiritually and touristically significant landscapes. Here, using three global glacier models, we project a sharp rise in the number of glaciers disappearing worldwide, peaking between 2041 and 2055 with up to ~4,000 glaciers vanishing annually. Regional variability reflects differences in average glacie…
Small policy changes can accelerate the adoption of improved on-farm storage among smallholder farmers
The Alps’ iconic glaciers are melting, but there’s still time to save the biggest
Glaciers are the ambassadors of climate change. Their worldwide decline has serious impacts on natural hazards, the water cycle, and sea level rise. The monitoring of glaciers documents the increasingly rapid melting, which has culminated in a suite of extreme years—for example, 2023 in North America and the European Alps. Numerical simulations of future glacier change, supported by a large basis of observational data, allow us to understand the …
A Bibliometric and Visualized Study of the Knowledge Domain of Language Disorder Research
Language disorder (LD), as a public health concern, has received increasing attention from researchers. This study provides an overview of the knowledge domain of LD research and unveils the thematic patterns and emerging trends. A total of 8,649 articles on LD from 2003 to 2022 were collected from WoS and CiteSpace was employed for data analysis. The study focuses on temporal and geographic distribution, top journals, categories, authors, and co…
Accelerated global glacier mass loss in the early twenty-first century
Improved on-farm storage reduces seasonal food insecurity of smallholder farmer households – Evidence from a randomized control trial in Tanzania
Ending hunger is a key goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in 2015. This goal notwithstanding, the prevalence of severe food insecurity of the world’s population has increased. It is highest in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the seasonality of harvests leads to fluctuations in food insecurity, particularly in the lean season, the time before the harvest is brought in. We posit that addressing seasonal food insecurity requires …
The bedrock topography of Gries- and Findelengletscher
Knowledge of the ice thickness distribution of glaciers is important for glaciological and hydrological applications. In this contribution, we present two updated bedrock topographies and ice thickness distributions for Gries- and Findelengletscher, Switzerland. The results are based on ground-penetrating radar (GPR) measurements collected in spring 2015 and already-existing data. The GPR data are analysed using ReflexW software and interpolated …
From dwindling ice to headwater lakes
The potential exploitation of areas becoming ice-free in response to ongoing climate change has rarely been addressed, although it could be of interest from the water management perspective. Here we present an estimate for the potential of mitigating projected changes in seasonal water availability from melting glaciers by managing runoff through reservoirs. For the European Alps we estimate that by the end of the century, such a strategy could o…
MontanAqua
Transdisciplinary research is considered an appropriate mode of knowledge production in the search for pathways towards a more sustainable governance of natural resources. However, the co-production of new knowledge between scientists of different disciplines and nonacademic stakeholders is a challenge that requires novel research designs, methods, and approaches. The MontanAqua team has tackled this challenge by designing and implementing an inn…
Raising Practices of Neolithic Livestock Evidenced by Stable Isotope Analysis in the Wei River Valley, North China
Although a patchwork of projects shows a process of agriculture intensification in North China during the Neolithic, the impact of cereal farming on animal husbandry and their mutual interaction remain cloudy. This study reports bone collagen δ13C and δ15N of humans and animals from Wayaogou (ca 6.5-6.0 kyrs bp) and Dongying (ca 5.9-5.6 kyrs bp, 4.6-4.0 kyrs bp) to explore temporal trend of livestock raising and particularly the importance of mil…
The days of plenty might soon be over in glacierized Central Asian catchments
Despite the fact that the fast-growing population of Central Asia strongly depends on glacial melt water for fresh water supply, irrigation and hydropower production, the impact of glacier shrinkage on water availability remains poorly understood. With an annual area loss of 0.36 to 0.76%, glaciers are retreating particularly fast in the northern Tien Shan, thus causing concern about future water security in the densely populated regions of Bishk…
Combining glaciological and archaeological methods for gauging glacial archaeological potential
Implications of climate change on Glacier de la Plaine Morte, Switzerland
Changes in Switzerland's climate are expected to have major impacts on glaciers, the hydrological regime and the natural hazard potential in mountainous regions. Glacier de la Plaine Morte is the largest plateau glacier in the European Alps and thus represents a particularly interesting site for studying rapid and far-reaching effects of atmospheric warming on Alpine glaciers. Based on detailed field observations combined with numerical modelling…
The potential of new measurement and modelling techniques in alpine cryosphere and geomorphology research
Die Hochgebirgs-Kryosphäre, insbesondere Schnee, Permafrost und Gletscher, spielt in Bezug auf die Auswirkungen eines sich ändernden Klimas auf die Gebirgsökosysteme eine Schlüsselrolle aufgrund (i) ihrer starken Sensitivität infolge von Temperaturen nahe dem Schmelzpunkt, (ii) ihrer Funktion als (Haupt-) Steuerungsgrösse des hydrologischen Abflusses und (iii) des Einflusses von Veränderungen bezüglich der saisonalen Schneedecke, da diese Boden-A…
Mass balance of Pizolgletscher
Half of the glaciers in the Swiss Alps are smaller than 0.1 km2. Despite this, the mass budget of small glaciers and their response to ongoing climate change is rarely studied. A new mass balance monitoring programme on Pizolgletscher (0.08 km2) in north-eastern Switzerland was started in 2006. This paper presents first results and describes a new approach to determining the mass balance of glaciers. Seasonal field observations are interpreted us…
Glacier mass balance in the south-eastern Swiss Alps since 1900 and perspectives for the future
In this study, we analyzed the 20(th) century ice volume changes for 20 glaciers in the south-eastern Swiss Alps. Our sample included different glacier geometries, sizes and exposures and allowed us to investigate glacier response to climate change. Using a distributed accumulation and temperature-index melt model, we derived mass balance time series in seasonal resolution from 1900. The model was calibrated using ice volume changes obtained from…
