Mountains are an essential component of the global life-support system. They are
characterized by a rugged, heterogenous landscape with rapidly changing environmental …

Advances in impact modeling and numerical weather forecasting have allowed accurate
drought monitoring and skilful forecasts that can drive decisions at the regional scale. State …

Droughts often have a severe impact on the environment, society, and the economy. The
variables and scales that are relevant to understand the impact of drought motivated this …

Warming in mountain regions is projected to be three times faster than the global average.
Pronounced climate change will likely lead to species reshuffling in mountain plant …

Subsurface storage changes (Δ S) represent a key modulator of drought propagation
through the hydrological cycle, but their contribution to the annual water balance, and to …

Aquifers in mountainous regions are susceptible to drought. However, the diverse
hydroclimatology, the small and responsive aquifers, and the varied nature of interactions …

Across the globe, there has been an increasing interest in improving the predictability of
subseasonal hydrometeorological forecasts, as they play a valuable role in medium-to long …

This work estimates yield losses due to drought events in the mountain grasslands in north-
eastern Italy, laying the groundwork for index-based insurance. Given the high correlation …

Multivariate or compound hydrological-extreme events such as successive floods, large-
scale droughts, or consecutive drought-to-flood events challenge water management and …

Mountains are highly sensitive to the effects of climate change, including extreme short-and
long-term weather phenomena. Therefore, in spite of relatively high annual precipitation …
