Snowpacks in mountain regions with Mediterranean climates are exceptionally sensitive to climate warming. However, these marginal snowpacks are sparsely monitored, limiting our understanding of recent snow losses and con...

Abstract The complex interactions between snow cover and forests have implications for ecosystems, water resources and the Earth's climate. However, the geographic distribution of where snow and forest overlap remains po...

Hydrological models commonly use very simple snow accumulation and melt models based on air temperature information, namely, a temperature threshold for snow accumulation as well as for snowmelt, and a melt factor. This ...

The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many mountain permafrost landforms. Here, we revie...

Climate conditions have a strong influence on the distribution of many natural communities; thus, the influence of global climate change may alter ecosystems. High-altitude wetlands in the Central Andes of Argentina (CAA...

High latitudes, characterized by extremely low temperatures, unique day–night cycles, and year-round ice and snow cover, present substantial challenges for energy supply and sustainability. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs...

Sea-ice motion plays a pivotal role in the variability of the Antarctic climate system by modulating the atmosphere–ocean fluxes and the ocean freshwater budget. Due to the variability of the ice surface, snow&#x2...

Polar stratospheric ozone has decreased since the 1970s due to anthropogenic emissions of chlorofluorocarbons and halons, resulting in the formation of an ozone hole over Antarctica. The effects of the ozone hole and the...

Most alpine ecosystems are subject to non-native species invasion as climate warms and human disturbance increases. Therefore, it is important to identify the main barriers and facilitators of alpine plant invasions. Whi...

Abstract Background Suicide is a serious and growing public health issue with a complex, multifactorial etiology involving psychological, social, and environmental determinants. Increasing evidence suggests that meteorol...

Abstract Historical weather journals from across Canada, spanning 1768–1884, have been transcribed from handwritten records into machine readable formats. The NORTHERN (Nineteenth-century Overseas Records Transcribed f...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of hum...
