New Highlanders in Traditional Out-migration Areas in the Alps

Revue de Géographie Alpine, 2015
According to the population and migration development on a municipal level in the Alps since the last decades, it has become obvious that the population gain that began in France in the 1980s has been expanding ever since towards the eastern parts of the

The Eastern Austrian Alps – Their Exceptional Demographic Status in the Alpine Region

European Countryside, 2018
In most Alpine regions with current negative migratory balance, new in-migration from urban areas has meanwhile become a relevant factor. However, this phenomenon is insignificant in Austria’s Eastern Alps.

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Seismic Activity Along the Periadriatic and Sava Faults in the Past Two Millennia—An Archaeoseismological Assessment

Geosciences
Most of the Periadriatic Fault System has been active during the Oligocene and Miocene times. Its western part seems to be almost inactive ever since, while the eastern segments show limited seismic activity.

A hidden Oligocene pluton linked to the Periadriatic Fault System beneath the Permian Bressanone pluton, eastern Southern Alps [PDF]

, 2021
The Bressanone (Brixen) pluton, cropping out at the culmination of the Southalpine indenter between the North Giudicarie and the Pustertal-Gailtal faults, is mainly composed of Permian granodiorite to granite, with minor gabbros and diorites in its ...

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

Ecography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Statistical Downscaling of Daily Temperature and Precipitation From Regional Climate Models in Complex Mountain Terrain

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 ...

Mitochondrial lineages in Ladin–speaking communities of the eastern Alps [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1998
European mitochondrial alleles cluster into five haplogroups. Haplogroup 2 is rare in general, but represents more than half of the few known sequences among Ladin speakers of the Alps. Here we describe DNA diversity in control region I of the hypervariable D-loop in 43 Ladins, and in 25 Italian speakers.

LGM ice extent and deglaciation history in the Gurktal and Lavantal Alps (eastern European Alps): first constraints from 10Be surface exposure dating of glacially polished quartz veins [PDF]

, 2021
Compared with the western European Alps, the ice extent during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the subsequent deglaciation history of the eastern Alps east of the Tauern Window remain less well constrained.

Intercomparison of a Regional Climate Model Ensemble for Selected European Catchments

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study analyzes a regional climate model ensemble for water cycle and water resource research with two models. Results show that ICON generally outperforms TSMP1 simulations, mainly with 2‐m temperature and precipitation. These findings serve as a baseline evaluation that shows how key structural differences influence the model skill.
