Anthropogenic climate change and glacier lake outburst flood risk: local and global drivers and responsibilities for the case of lake Palcacocha, Peru

Huggel, Christian ; Carey, Mark ; Emmer, Adam ; Frey, Holger ; Walker-Crawford, Noah ; Wallimann-Helmer, Ivo

In: Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020, vol. 20, no. 8, p. 2175–2193

Evidence of observed negative impacts on natural and human systems from anthropogenic climate change is increasing. However, human systems in particular are dynamic and influenced by multiple drivers and hence identifying an anthropogenic climate signal is challenging. Here we analyze the case of lake Palcacocha in the Andes of Peru, which offers a representative model for other glacier lakes...

Potential future lakes from continued glacier shrinkage in the Aosta Valley Region (Western Alps, Italy)

Viani, Cristina ; Machguth, Horst ; Huggel, Christian ; Godio, Alberto ; Franco, Diego ; Perotti, Luigi ; Giardino, Marco

In: Geomorphology, 2020, vol. 355, p. 107068

Aosta Valley (Western Alps, Italy) is the region with the largest glacierized area of Italy. Like other high mountain regions, it has shown a significant glacier retreat starting from the end of the ‘Little Ice Age’ that is expected to continue in the future. As a direct consequence of glacier shrinkage, glacier-bed overdeepenings become exposed, offering suitable geomorphological ...

Joint knowledge production in climate change adaptation networks

Muccione, Veruska ; Huggel, Christian ; Bresch, David N ; Jurt, Christine ; Wallimann-Helmer, Ivo ; Mehra, Meeta K ; Pabón Caicedo, José Daniel

In: Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2019, vol. 39, p. 147–152

Adaptation to changing and new environmental conditions is of fundamental importance to sustainability and requires concerted efforts amongst science, policy, and practice to produce solution-oriented knowledge. Joint knowledge production or co-production of knowledge have become increasingly popular terms to describe the process of scientists, policy makers and actors from the civil society...

Climate change research in bilateral development programmes: experiences from India and Peru

Muccione, Veruska ; Orlowsky, Boris ; Allen, Simon K. ; Huggel, Christian ; Salzmann, Nadine ; Montoya, Nilton ; Randhawa, Surjeet Singh ; Stoffel, Markus

In: Development in Practice, 2019, vol. 29, no. 3, p. 336–348

This article reflects on the merits and shortfalls of bilateral research programmes aimed at strengthening climate change research capabilities, using the experience from two programmes, the PACC and IHCAP in Peru and India, respectively. The study highlights key aspects of these types of bilateral programmes, namely: capacity; performance, salary and appreciation; funding; bureaucracy and...
