Alpine hydrogeology
Climate change has an important impact on the hydrological cycle particularly in alpine watersheds as e.g. the degradation of permafrost changes significantly the storage capacity of permafrost related landforms and sediment/debris accumulations such as rock glaciers. Thus, a better understanding of the storage capacity and the drainage dynamics of alpine aquifers bound on such landforms is crucial for the sustainable use of these groundwater resources.
