Assessing the impact of artificial snowmaking on Dagu Glacier variation: a case study from a tourism glacier [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The study combines field observations and modeling to assess the impact of artificial snowmaking on the Dagu Glacier Landscape No.17, with a focus on long-term changes in glacier thickness under varying snowmaking durations (5, 10, and 20 years) and ...

Construction of a quantitative model for ski resort water demand and preliminary exploration of drainage irrigation pathways [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In China, natural snowfall is insufficient, and ski resorts often require artificial snowmaking in winter and turf management in summer, which results in high overall water consumption and considered as one of the high water-consuming service industries,

Ski Tourism Shapes the Snow Microbiome on Ski Slopes in the Italian Central Alps. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Ski tourism alters the snow microbiome by increasing microbial load and introducing human‐ and host‐associated taxa. These shifts may impact alpine ecosystem functions and highlight the need for systematic microbiome monitoring in mountain environments.

The impacts of sport emissions on climate: Measurement, mitigation, and making a difference. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2023
Sport makes potentially significant contributions to climate change through both carbon emissions and influence over sustainability practices. Evidence regarding impacts is uneven and spread across many disciplines. This systematic review and meta‐analysis investigates the impacts of sport emissions on climate and identifies knowledge gaps.

Technology on Snow and Ice: Innovation, Monitoring, and Performance for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. [PDF]

Scand J Med Sci Sports
ABSTRACT Elite performance in Olympic winter sports depends on the interplay among the athlete, equipment, and the snow or ice. This naturally evolves with temperature, humidity, wind, preparation, and contact between the equipment and its surface. Together, these factors continuously rebalance the forces of gravity, aerodynamic drag, and friction ...

Global reduction of snow cover in ski areas under climate change. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Ongoing climate change substantially alters snowfall patterns with severe but diverging consequences for global ski areas. A global assessment as well as the investigation of potential implications for mountain ecosystems is currently lacking.

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Climate change adaptation through an integrative lens in Aotearoa New Zealand. [PDF]

J R Soc N Z
ABSTRACT Climate change is being felt across all human and natural systems in Aotearoa New Zealand and is projected to worsen this decade as impacts compound and cascade through natural system and sectoral dependencies. The effectiveness of adaptation is constrained by how fast greenhouse gas emissions are reduced globally, the pace of change, the ...

New York State Climate Impacts Assessment Chapter 08: Society and Economy. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
Abstract Climate change is affecting or will affect the lives of every resident of New York State. This chapter examines the impacts of climate change on five critical areas in the state: populations and migration, the economy, education, culture, and government. The chapter highlights differential vulnerabilities among the state's regions, populations,
