Call for papers: Addressing challenges of hazards, risks, and disaster management in mountain regions Mountain Research and Development is looking for trans- and interdisciplinary contributions that help understand the links between hazards, vulnerabilities, disaster management, and diverse dimensions of development, adaptation, and global change. Insights into integrative approaches to improving disaster management across the entire [...]

Human-Environment Systems, Boise State University, Idaho, USA We are recruiting a PhD student to join a transdisciplinary team focused on measuring the impact of beaver rewilding for ecosystem restoration. In particular, the student will use time-series satellite data and social-ecological modeling to measure mesic resources before and after beaver rewilding interventions across the entire western [...]

About the Project Winter conditions are changing, with rapid reductions in northern-hemisphere snowcover. This is of huge importance for alpine ecosystems, which are disproportionately biodiverse, and considered a sentinel for climate change due to observed rapid changes in plant communities. However, belowground diversity and biogeochemistry of soil organisms is poorly reconciled, hindering our ability to [...]
