NEWFOR - NEW technologies for a better mountain FORest timber mobilization (NEWFOR)
Start date: Aug 31, 2011, End date: Aug 30, 2014,
The role played by mountain forests is extremely varied. Their contributions to the stability and overall development of life and economic factors in mountainous regions are highly significant. Due mainly to topographic conditions, managing mountain forests is significantly more cost intensive than in plain ones. A good knowledge of forest biomass location, characteristics, mobilization conditions ...

imProved Accessibility: Reliability and security of Alpine transport infrastructure related to mountainous hazards in a changing climate (PARAmount)
Start date: Aug 31, 2009, End date: Aug 30, 2012,
Transport security and accessibility are essential for a balanced and sustainable development of ASP. Due to current climatic trends, the vulnerability of transport infrastructure to natural hazards has increased. But the specific threats to transport infrastructure have not yet been tackled in a systematic joint effort. Therefore the goal of PARAmount is to improve risk management strategies for ...

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 ...
