Arid rangelands support all kinds of life 👨👩👧🦁🐦🍃 but face threats from vegetation loss & invasive species. A GEO Mountains project in Kenya mapped these threats. Warming temps favour invasive species, stressing need for climate change adaptation. geomountains.org/projects-impac…
⛰️ Small Grants Project '23 of the Week: Snow monitoring in the Argentinean & Chilean Cordillera (HR-SCA-SWE-Andes) Led by carlo marin, this project developed daily snow-cover area & snow water equivalent data. 👉 loom.ly/2Gc81CM Eurac Research Swiss Development and Cooperation Adaptation At Altitude
Today the resolution on the Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences was adopted at the United Nations General Assembly! 👏 Launched in the Paris Call of the #OnePlanetPolarSummit, & co-facilitated with 🇹🇯, the Decade 2025-2034 will focus on needed scientific research on the #cryosphere.
Higher resolution #climate data boosts 🌨️#snow cover❄️accuracy in models by up to 52%! This shows the importance of fine-scale climate in #climatechange impact studies, especially in 🏔️mountainous regions like Switzerland.
