MANFRED - Management strategies to adapt Alpine Space forests to climate change risks (MANFRED)
Start date: Jul 31, 2009, End date: Jul 30, 2012,
With the expected Climate Change (CC), the ecological conditions for forests in the Alpine Space will be fundamentally changing – with unknown effects on the forests essential protective, ecological, economical and social functions. Under different climate and land-use change scenarios only an adaptive management can provide the conservation of the natural heritage and the multiple functions. MANF ...

Water Management Strategies against Water Scarcity in the Alps (Alp-Water-Scarce)
Start date: Sep 30, 2008, End date: Sep 29, 2011,
The main challenges of this project are to create local Early Warning Systems against Water Scarcity in the Alps based on sound and perennial monitoring and modelling and anchored strongly and actively within a Stakeholder Forum linked across comparative and contrasting regions across the Alps. The Early Warning System is based on the linkage and improvement of field monitoring and assemblage of q ...

Adaptation to Climate Change in the Alpine Space (AdaptAlp)
Start date: Aug 31, 2008, End date: Aug 30, 2011,
Climate change is to a large extent constituted by increasing temperatures and changed precipitation patterns. Any change of these critical factors has implications on the frequency & extent of natural hazards. The uncertainties and the increase of natural hazards due to the impacts of CC requires concerted management in the Alpine Space. AdaptAlp will improve information on impacts of CC esp. on ...

maNET - Permafrost long-term monitoring network (PermaNET)
Start date: Jun 30, 2008, End date: Jul 13, 2011,
Permafrost is highly sensitive to climatic changes. Permafrost degradation and related natural hazards affect traffic routes, tourism areas, settlements and infrastructures. The main problem is a lacking strategy for the consideration of these newly observed specific impacts of climate change in risk prevention and territorial development. With the joint development of a common strategy for dealin ...
