Climatic Drivers of the Area Burned by Winter Wildfires in Northern Italy
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study investigates winter wildfires occurring between November and April in northern Italy over the period 2008–2022. By integrating high‐resolution burned‐area data with gridded climatic indices derived from 150 weather stations, it identifies spatial and temporal wildfire patterns, highlights the most fire‐prone mountain areas through pixel ...

Alpine Space Prospective Study. Sustainable territorial development in the Alpine Space: Towards long term transnational cooperation [PDF]
, 2005 This "Prospective Study" argues that a long term transnational cooperation will be able to pursue the sustainable territorial development in the Alpine Space only at the condition of a substantial improvement of the current experience.

Station‐Based Assessment of Sub‐Seasonal Climate Trends in the Tyrolean Alps (Austria)
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.In this study, we quantify the magnitude and significance of sub‐seasonal trends in the Tyrolean Alps (Austria) by collecting, processing and analysing meteorological observations from a dense network of climate stations. Our analysis indicates a warming rate of 0.43°C/dec over 1964–2023, greater sub‐seasonal trend variability when the analysis window ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The study provides insights for post‐processing climate model output in complex terrain, useful for climate change impact models. We compared different bias adjustment and downscaling techniques from quantile delta mapping to simple lapse rates. We developed a new spatial downscaling method based on principal components analysis, which showed superior ...

Alpine grassland fPAR change over the Northern Tibetan Plateau from 2002 to 2011
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2017 In this study, two different methods including Digital Camera and Reference Panel (DCRP) and traditional in situ fPAR observation for measuring the in situ point fPAR of very short alpine grass vegetation were compared, and the Moderate Resolution ...

ERA5 Can Overstate Changes in the Frequency of Extreme Heat: A New Zealand Case Study
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.ERA5 reproduces broad patterns of summer warming across New Zealand but underestimates temperature variability and warm‐tail extremes, biasing estimates of extreme heat risk. ABSTRACT Summertime temperature extremes exert profound impacts on human health, ecosystems, and infrastructure, yet their characteristics and drivers remain poorly quantified in ...

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...
