With AlpsWatch, Tyrolean experts present a digital tool that makes alpine hazards visible and thus provides crucial support to mountaineers and communities.

Snow cover is a crucial driver for plant species distributions in cold environments. The primary source of snow cover data used in distribution models is remotely sensed satellite imagery, which is characterized by coarser spatial resolutions than plot-scale observations of plant distributions. Does meter-scale snow data matter for modeling alpine plant distribution?

Better understanding of environmental change and driving processes require permenent high resolution observations. This can be achieved by permanent laser scanning setups. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ophoto.2025.100094
