Mountain water resources are of particular importance for downstream populations but are
threatened by decreasing water storage in snowpack and glaciers. Groundwater …

Mountain lakes are often situated in protected natural areas, a feature that leads to their role
as sentinels of global environmental change. Despite variations in latitude, mountain lakes …

The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

In mountainous regions, climate change threatens cryospheric water resources, and
understanding all components of the hydrological cycle is necessary for effective water …

This review provides a detailed synthesis of the effects of glacier retreat and permafrost thaw
on stream ecosystems in the European Alps. As a working framework, we present a …

Recent studies have shown that climate change is impacting the inorganic chemical
characteristics of surface fresh water in permafrost areas and affecting aquatic ecosystems …

Groundwater is an important water resource that accounts for 30% of the world's freshwater.
97% of this extracted groundwater is for drinking and human use. Due to anthropogenic …

Rock glaciers are the most prominent permafrost-related mountain landforms. This study
investigates the effects of the discharge from an intact rock glacier on the hydrological …

This paper investigates the elevation‐warming relationships across the Carpathian
Mountains, using the 0.1°× 0.1° gridded daily air temperature dataset developed within the …

The high-mountain lakes of the Alps, perched like glistening gems in the cradle of Europe's
most formidable mountain range, have for generations epitomized nature's majesty. These …
