Changes in the morphology of the step pool channels in the high-mountain ski resort without artificial snowmaking. An example from the Polish Tatra Mountains

2023
The development and maintenance of ski resorts cause serious damage to the environment. Especially, the most severe changes can occur in the most sensitive environments such as high mountains, alpine ecosystem. The proper functioning of ski resorts based on some activities e.g. snow grooming, artificial snowmaking, and ski lifts conservation.

Understanding storage and discharge behavior of a high-elevated and geologically complex karst catchment using numerical approach, Dolomites (Alps)

, 2021
Water resources from high-alpine karst aquifers are used for drinking, hydropower generation and artificial snowmaking. Therefore, understanding of their storage and flow dynamics is crucial for a sustainable water management.
