MountAInWater: Wereldwijde heranalyse van watervoorraden in berggebieden en toekomstige omslagpunten
Bergen voorzien miljarden mensen van zoet water, maar ons inzicht in hoe gletsjers, sneeuwpakketten en permafrost reageren op klimaatverandering is nog steeds onvolledig, met name op wereldschaal. Kritieke omslagpunten in de cryosfeer kunnen de beschikbaarheid van water stroomafwaarts fundamenteel veranderen, met verstrekkende gevolgen voor de landbouw, energievoorziening en ecosystemen. Om...
