Duration of the Snow Cover and the Need for Artificial Snow—A Challenge for Management in Ski-Centres of Serbia

, 2018
The production and use of artificial snow has become necessary in most ski centres in Europe. The lack of snow creates problems in ski centres that were built without the prior valuation of natural factors.

Biogeomorphic assessment of natural streambank structures in the Alps: A step to improve soil and water bioengineering techniques

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 9, July 2025.
This study first analyses intermingled geomorphological and ecological units along naturally stable banks in mountain streams, aiming to identify stable biogeomorphological structures that resist erosion. Two bio‐geomorphologic types of stable streambanks were identified: 1) those along steep‐sloped streams, where mixed mineral and plant units ...

New spectral functions of the near-ground albedo derived from aircraft diffraction spectrometer observations [PDF]

, 2014
The airborne spectral observations of the upward and downward irradiances are revisited to investigate the dependence of the near-ground albedo as a function of wavelength in the entire solar spectrum for different surfaces (sand, water, snow) and under ...

The Promise of Resistance: A New Lens for Climate Change Adaptation Research and Practice

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 16, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Over the years, thousands of climate change adaptation projects have been implemented globally. While there has been substantial scholarship on the extent and nature of adaptation efforts, fewer studies have examined why and how adaptation projects are being resisted. An analysis of resistance to adaptation offers critical insights to scholars

Les plans de pistes de ski : une saison hivernale fantasmée

EchoGéo
Since the creation of ski resorts, there has been a proliferation of piste maps for skiers. By analysing several French maps and a few foreign ones, we will look at the representations of the mountains, via the ski areas, that these maps convey.

Spatial Distribution of Ice and Snow Tourism Resource Sites in Xinjiang Region Based on Logarithmic Gaussian Cox Model and Its Influencing Factor Analysis

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Xinjiang is rich in snow and ice tourism resources, and exploring the spatial distribution pattern of snow and ice tourism resource points in the region, and the influence mechanism behind it can provide decision support for the region to build a strong snow and ice tourism area.

Crisis? What Crisis? The Contestation of Urgency in Creeping Crises

Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 32, Issue 4, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Whilst research on extreme contexts has mainly studied responses to and perceptions of urgency in abrupt crisis settings, this paper examines the construction and contestation of urgency in ambiguous creeping crisis settings. It builds on the empirical case of the Alpine Region of Tyrol and the discourse that emerged around the climate crisis ...
