Snow redistribution in an intermediate-complexity snow hydrology modelling framework [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Snow hydrological regimes in mountainous catchments are strongly influenced by snowpack heterogeneity resulting from wind- and gravity-induced redistribution processes, requiring them to be modelled at hectometre and finer resolutions.

Snow hydrology in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains
Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2022 Study region: Atlas Mountains located in Morocco. Study focus: Mountainous regions constitute an area of water production, while water is used in downstream plains. In Central Morocco, the Atlas Mountains represent the most important water supply in the country. The solid part of precipitation forms seasonal snowpack.

Snow hydrology in Mediterranean mountain regions: A review
Journal of Hydrology, 2017 Abstract Water resources in Mediterranean regions are under increasing pressure due to climate change, economic development, and population growth. Many Mediterranean rivers have their headwaters in mountainous regions where hydrological processes are driven by snowpack dynamics and the specific variability of the Mediterranean climate.

Remote SensingThe retrieval of continuous snow water equivalent (SWE) directly from passive microwave observations is hampered by ambiguity, which can potentially be mitigated by incorporating knowledge on snow hydrological processes.

Evaluating methods for debris-flow prediction based on rainfall in an Alpine catchment [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 The prediction of debris flows is relevant because this type of natural hazard can pose a threat to humans and infrastructure. Debris-flow (and landslide) early warning systems often rely on rainfall intensity–duration (ID) thresholds. Multiple competing

Halving of Swiss glacier volume since 1931 observed from terrestrial image photogrammetry [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 The monitoring of glaciers in Switzerland has a long tradition, yet glacier changes during the 20th century are only known through sparse observations.

Modelling supraglacial debris-cover evolution from the single-glacier to the regional scale: an application to High Mountain Asia [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Currently, about 12 %–13 % of High Mountain Asia’s glacier area is debris-covered, which alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris-covered glaciers are typically treated as clean-ice glaciers, leading to a ...

Rescue and homogenization of 140 years of glacier mass balance data in Switzerland [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2022 Glacier monitoring in Switzerland has resulted in some of the longest and most complete data series globally. Mass balance observations at individual locations, starting in the 19th century, are the backbone of the monitoring as they represent the raw ...

Volume, evolution, and sedimentation of future glacier lakes in Switzerland over the 21st century [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022 Ongoing climate change and associated glacier retreat is causing rapid environmental change, including shifts in high-alpine landscapes. Glacier lakes, which can form in topographical depressions left behind by glacier retreat, are prominent features ...
