At the end of November, a new Alpine-wide research centre presented itself to the public at the Schneefernerhaus, the German environmental research station below the Zugspitze peak: the “TUM Alpha – Centre for Alpine Hazards and Risks” will coordinate, on an international basis, the prediction of extreme climate events in the mountains.No publisheralpmedia 1/2024meteorologyresearch, sciencepermafrost2024/01/16 09:11:00 GMT+1NewsManaging climate risks in biosphere reserves
https://www.cipra.org/en/news/managing-climate-risks-in-biosphere-reserves
As an effect of climate change, droughts, floods and other natural hazards are becoming more frequent, sometimes even simultaneously. How can we as a society learn to cope with this and become more resilient in the process? What role can biosphere reserves play in the Alpine region and beyond? With CIPRA participation, a new research project is now looking into these questions.No publisherMichael Gams, CIPRA Internationalresearch, sciencebiosphere reservesCIPRA GermaniaClimate change adaptionalpMedia 5/2023natural hazards2023/07/19 08:45:00 GMT+1NewsExpedition for future female glacier researchers
