Mountain areas are characterized by small-scaled complex, dynamic, socio-ecological conditions and human-environment interactions. They provide important habitats and strongly influence the surrounding forelands. Maintaining and strengthening their resilience is, therefore, of great importance, especially with regard to the local and regional water balance. Due to heavy precipitation and corresponding runoff from steep catchments, which are highly differentiated by altitude, devastating floods occur at their corresponding alluvial cones and in the receiving valley areas. This makes hydrologically optimized land use management all the more important. The project will therefore investigate the influence of historical and current land use practices, especially among forests, and runoff generation in order to better distinguish it from the effect of climate change for the time periods around 1850, 1960 and 2020. Based on the results of a preliminary project (https://doi.org/10.33993/TR.2021.1.03), an interdisciplinary research team (historical scientists, land use impact researchers, and hydrologists) will collaborate to achieve the following aims: (i) selection of four small Alpine catchments (< 10 km2) in Tyrol, taking into account environmental conditions, data on historic land-use types and intensities, and documented extreme flooding events; (ii) detailed mapping of recent hydrologically relevant features in these four test catchments; (iii) comprehensive survey and evaluation of historic land-use data (around 1850) with a special focus on forest utilisation practises (especially forest pasture, litter raking and branch cutting) and reconstruction of forest structure around 1960 on the basis of forest inventories and aerial photos; (iv) quantification of secondary forest use impacts by experimental and laboratory approaches (e.g., litter removal in combination with rain simulation experiments); (v) modeling of rainfall-runoff-events for the investigated periods (around 1850, 1960 and 2020) and identification of the land use impact on the basis of a developed expert-system to derive run-off classes from historic land-use data; (vi) preparing the modelling results and related process understanding and recommended measures in form of educational material and publications. In order to consider extreme precipitation events from 1855 until 2015 in a more differentiated way, a newly created dataset of dynamic downscaling of global reanalysis data is applied. By combining the natural and human science concepts and methods, runoff disposition maps and subsequent rainfall-runoff modeling for the past can be produced for the first time. These results can be checked against historically documented events and compared to current ones. Thus, for several small test catchments and different time periods, extreme runoff events over the past 170 years can be better differentiated in terms of the influence of land use and climate on runoff formation. The interdisciplinary research approach also integrates stakeholders from forest management, natural hazards, local chronicles, education, and the public. Accordingly, the results and recommendations are also processed in such a way that they can be used for exhibitions, excursions and teaching units at educational institutions in the sense of optimizing the resilience of mountain areas.

‘BIOSS Biosphere reserves as models for science-society interaction to spur sustainability transformations in mountainous areas and beyond’
Mountain regions - such as the 435 mountain biosphere reserves - and their biocultural diversity are particularly vulnerable to the accelerated and intensified consequences of global change. BIOSS conceptualises mountain biosphere reserves as models for new forms of science-society interaction. The 50th anniversary of UNESCO’s MAN & Biosphere Programme (MAB) is the perfect occasion to look at the evolution of the science-society interaction in biosphere reserves. They have evolved from field education and study sites of disciplinary academic knowledge production towards places for transdisciplinary knowledge co-creation for sustainability. Transdisciplinary knowledge co-creation and the integration of academic and non-academic/local knowledge represents a specific form of science-society interaction. It is considered particularly suitable to create actionable knowledge, spur transformation towards sustainability and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. To our knowledge, BIOSS would be the first attempt to systematically investigate the diversity of science-society interactions, the diversity of established strategic and functional partnerships and project-based research practises in biosphere reserves. BIOSS will address the following research question: How and to what extent have mountain biosphere reserves established as models for science-society interaction and thereby successfully contributed to alleviate pressing sustainability challenges and spur transformation change towards sustainability?
To analyse, understand and generalise if and how different types of science-society interaction support the transformation towards sustainability in mountain biosphere reserves, we propose a nested research approach covering three levels: (a) mountainous BR on global level; (b) mountainous BR located in the DACH region of the European Alps and (c) research projects located in mountainous BR of the alpine DACH region. The comparative analysis on these three levels will combine document analysis of a global sample of periodic review reports with analytical case studies (for the verification of self-reported data), q-sorting interviews, Social Network Analysis, an international Delphi study and a transnational co-creation workshop for exploring the transferability of international best practice.The variety of science-society interaction within mountain biosphere reserves, the rich and yet under-investigated data source of the periodic reviews and the multi-level BIOSS project design will show if and under what conditions different types of science-society interaction result in knowledge-in-use. BIOSS will spur active dialogue among stakeholders from diverse mountain biosphere reserves, MAB National Committees and scientists from several universities and research organisations. It will trigger and co-create knowledge on how science-society interaction can successfully create impact and spur transitions towards sustainability.

Natural resources and food systems are specifically exposed to climatic variability and extremes. However, the vulnerability of households and communities is not only influenced by climate change impacts, but also by their adaptive capacity (AC). AC is the ability of systems, institutions, humans and other organisms to adjust to potential damage, take advantage of opportunities, or respond to consequences. It is the capability of a system to react on exposure by withstanding or recovering from it. AC is integral to both vulnerability and resilience frameworks and influenced by human actions and is connected to both biophysical and social elements of a system. In this research project we will develop a composite index to elaborate indicators to compare AC levels of specific communities in different spatial and certification contexts with empirical research in Austria, Switzerland and California by use of the Community Capitals Framework (CCF). According to the CCF, this research extends the indicators to seven different community capitals (human, social, financial, physical, natural capital as well as cultural and political capital), shifting the focus from the household to the community perspective. This creates a more holistic approach and enables a better comparison of different regional, cultural and political contexts in the agricultural sector in Austria, Switzerland and California. The comparison of different production and certification systems as well as study regions and associated AC (levels) allows to draw conclusions for different AC development pathways in agricultural supply chains as well as to formulate recommendations to increase AC in local agricultural communities in mountainous areas. In the elaboration of a composite index, indicators are derived from literature and triangulated by expert interviews. For the empirical analysis, a household survey will be conducted to capture the AC levels of local agricultural communities. Approximately 200 interviews with farmers will be carried out in each of the three case study areas, capturing one community with and one without a certification system. Together with our project partners at FiBL Switzerland and UC Davis, we selected the three case studies: Hay milk producing farming communities in mountainous areas in Tyrol, Austria; organic milk producing farming communities in mountainous areas in Grisons, Switzerland; organic beef producing farming communities in mountainous areas in California, USA. The innovative aspect of this research project is that AC is studied from a community perspective rather than a purely individual view. Furthermore, a systematic analysis of how certification affects the AC of agricultural communities compared to those that cultivate non-certified is missing to date. So far, AC indices lack recognition of cultural and political capital. The inclusion of these determinants based on the CCF and indicators represents new scientific research ground. The comparison of sector-specific AC levels in different production systems and study areas enables the elaboration of different development pathways for agricultural communities.

Climate change is expected to have a significant impact on the hydrology of alpine regions and thus, alpine freshwater resources and biodiversity hotspots are under an increasing pressure. Alpine spring waters fed by groundwater are a crucial resource for water supply and the alpine ecosystems. The impact of climate change on its runoff pattern including future predictions has rarely been addressed so far. The monitoring of springs as currently operated focuses primarily on physical-chemical indicators ignoring the biodiversity of microbial communities as key ecosystem functions. Thus, the overall aims of this project are to quantify the impact of climate change on spring water runoff pattern, to establish a first comprehensive dataset for the microbial biodiversity of Austrian alpine spring waters with respect to their catchment characteristics and to apply microbial community pattern as an environmental tracer with regard to the transient water quality and to spring catchments.
Therefore, targeted investigations at springs will be conducted at a regional and a local scale. A spring discharge classification will be developed based on analysis of hydrological long-term data from some 90 springs distributed over entire Austria. Delineation of the spring catchments and coupled rainfall-runoff and isotopic modelling approaches will enhance the quantification of the spring discharge responses, with respect to different climate change scenarios considering in particular snow cover dynamic changes. Time series analysis and multivariate statistics will be applied to advance the current understanding of the interrelation of spring water quantity responses to hydrometeorological extremes (e.g. droughts), and to correlate hydrological and hydrochemical (e.g. electric conductivity) trends. In addition, all spring waters will be sampled twice to characterize their microbial communities during low and high flow conditions and derive seasonal spring-specific signatures. At local scale three springs with different catchment settings (e.g. geology, elevation) will be selected for an extended monitoring to identify the seasonal and short-term variability and changes of the microbial signatures. This includes temporal high-resolution sampling of spring water for hydrochemical and stable water isotope analysis, as well as the characterization of water quality components (e.g. dissolved organic carbon content). Microbial measures of biomass, activity, and biodiversity will complement the monitoring. After evaluating different hydrogeological and ecological indicators and indices separately, recommendations will be developed for an integrated eco-hydrogeological classification. The linkage between the microbial communities of the recharge components entering the aquifer system (input; e.g. microbes in the snow cover) and the microbial communities in spring waters (output) will support the catchment characterization as individual microbial species and groups may act as a time-integrating bio-marker and thus as an environmental tracer. Future potential application of our eco-hydrogeological approach for a sustainable water resource management will depend on acceptance in water policy and practice. Thus, key stakeholders and federal authorities will be involved right from the beginning.

High alpine lakes are fragile habitats, under increasing stress due to anthropogenic climate change. Understanding how climate change will impact the current and future biodiversity and ecosystem functioning requires understanding how biological, geological and sociological factors interact to drive community composition and processes in these lakes.
This study proposes to build upon an on-going monitoring program of high alpine lakes in the National Park Hohe Tauern (NPHT). That program characterized the zooplankton communities in the lakes and the large differences in the plankton communities and abiotic conditions between lakes. However, to understand how the biodiversity in high alpine lake will change in the future, we need to understand how ecological, geological/geomorphological and sociological factors interact to drive community composition and processes in natural ecosystems. To address this issue, we are suggesting a project tightly integrating the corresponding scientific disciplines.
Our proposed project consists of (1) field campaigns, (2) laboratory experiments and (3) interaction with relevant tourist- and educational organisations. (1) In the field, the geological, geomorphological, hydrological, and climatic setting of the lakes will be assessed, parallel to studying the plankton community of the lakes, in order to determine the role of chemical and physical parameters in driving the between-lake differences in plankton communities. To examine the role of hikers as vectors for plankton dispersal, we will analyse samples from their clothing and boots for zooplankton resting eggs. (2) Laboratory experiments will test hypotheses concerning the ecological processes driving community composition: the ability of large zooplankton species to preclude invasion by new lowland species; the hostile environment of high alpine lakes limiting the colonization success of invading species; and species sorting, where the species found in a lake are those best adapted to the habitat in which they are found. (3) In cooperation with the NP’s visitor and educational centres, the motivation and attitudes towards natural habitats of visitors to the NPHT will be assessed. Knowledge of how visitors view these habitats will allow predictions of how they will approach remote areas in the future, as well as helping in developing strategies to sensitize future visitors to the fragile nature of these habitats.
Our inter- and transdisciplinary approach will strengthen the connection between society and science and aims to provide a basis to predict the multifaceted impacts of climate change on high alpine lakes, in addition to raise awareness of those impacts to the stakeholders of protected areas.

GeoEN-Inntal investigates the possible use of geothermal energy for heating, cooling, heat storage and electricity production in Alpine settlement areas. In times of climate change and required substitution of fossil fuels, the implementation of renewable energy is essential and complies with the aims of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org). Alpine regions might benefit from the availability of on-site renewable energy sources like hydropower, biomass and solar energy, but are often confronted with the limitation of available surface space, strong impact of the surface relief (e.g., shadowing) and a higher risk of negative impacts on health, biodiversity and landscape. Geothermal energy represents a space saving, on-site available and sustainable energy source, which is moreover independent of weather conditions and seasonal changes. Using geothermal energy helps to mitigate the dependency on energy imports, reduces the impact of renewable energy use on surface space consumption, landscape and health. It is moreover capable to provide base load supply not affected by varying external factors. However, geothermal energy still covers a niche inside the energy sector, although it has the potential to make significant contributions to the resilience and sustainability of the energy supply in Alpine regions.
The project aims at a spatial evaluation of resources and limitations of use related to geothermal energy at its full technological spectrum including small-scale and large-scale applications as well as underground heat storage using the eastern part of the Inn Valley region between Innsbruck and Kufstein. In the past years, there have been several local initiatives to use geothermal energy in the Inn Valley. So far, there has been no regional and integrative consideration of all possible uses of geothermal energy. The GeoEn-Inntal project aims at a transdisciplinary geo- and socio-scientific study to evaluate future options and challenges (e.g., associated seismicity) related to geothermal energy use.
The interdisciplinary consortium, consisting of geoscientists (geology, hydrogeology, geothermal research and seismology) and social scientists (human geography) aims to address the following guiding scientific questions: How and to which extent may geothermal energy support the resilience of the Alpine energy sector?
How resilient is the use of geothermal energy itself in the context of climate, environmental and social-ecological transformation in the Alpine region?
How can a sustainable deployment of geothermal energy inside Alpine regions be reached and which pathways may be followed?
In this context, the eastern part of the Inn valley serves as an excellent role model for other Alpine regions because of:
1) multiple options to apply geothermal energy technologies, 2) significant population density and energy demand and 3) challenges to fulfil the decarbonisation goals inside the energy sector, to which geothermal energy may contribute.

BioPV conducts an inter- and transdisciplinary research on the potentials of ground-mounted photovoltaics in transition zones of Austrians biosphere reserves by addressing conflicts and synergies of an integrated sustainable development. Techno-economic modelling, ecological analyses and habitat surveys, social-scientific quantitative and qualitative methods of social acceptance, and participatory planning exercises are combined to offer a significant contribution, both in theory, as well as in practice. The project is designed to increase renewable energy capacities in Austria based on the concepts and goals of sustainability and resilience. With its strong emphasis on developing a sustainable relationship between humans and the environment, BioPV will provide a major contribution to reach the goals of SDG 15 ‘Life on Land’ of the United Nations, of the EU’s biodiversity strategy for 2030 and the Austrians target of climate neutrality in 2040.
In general, alpine regions serve as a prime example of highly sensitive areas to impacts of infrastructure buildings. In this context, BioPV focuses on social, ecological and land use conflicts and elaborates possible solutions for these problems. The project will start with a spatio-temporal analysis of the techno-economic potential of both rooftop and ground-mounted PV in all three Austrian biosphere reserves followed by a stocktaking of habitats in specific test sites and an assessment of possible ecological impacts of PV on biodiversity. In addition, qualitative and quantitative studies of social acceptance will be conducted. After the exploration of techno-economic, ecological and societal potentials and limitations a participatory landscape planning approach will be developed. Public involvement will be facilitated through the so-called laboratories, which will engage regional stakeholders and citizens from the selected case study regions. This element of transdisciplinarity is mirrored on a project management level by the constitution of an advisory stakeholder group, which will accompany the research, providing feedback but equally gaining insights as the project progresses. Overall, BioPV investigates scenarios of ground-mounted PV systems in ecologically and aesthetically sensitive landscapes.
The project focuses on investigating the relationship and potential contradictories of nature conservation, climate protection and renewable energy development. Social and ecological aspects are emphasised, because these issues often prevent projects from being implemented. As the energy transition depends on many local decisions, there is a strong need for better conflict management and participation in planning and decision-making processes. By considering adequate processes to apprehend potential impediments, BioPV offers valuable insights in the field of sustainable energy production while fostering resilience.

Landslides are common processes in mountain areas, forming an integral part of their long-term destruction. To society, such phenomena may mean risks and disasters on the one hand, having triggered a huge bulk of research. However, landslides may also represent significant natural and cultural heritage and offer services to society, aspects that are yet under-researched and may be included in the rather scarcely used concept of geosystem services. In this context, landslides also help us to learn how Earth surface systems are functioning. UNESCO Global Geoparks represent ideal environments of exploring and highlighting geosystem services related to landslides, particularly in Austria where the three existing UNESCO Global Geoparks (Karawanken/Karavanke, Erz der Alpen, Steirische Eisenwurzen) are characterized by the occurrence of a broad range of landslide types and magnitudes. On this basis, the project objectives are defined as follows:
The project will be implemented by an interdisciplinary team of scientists of the University of Graz and the University of Salzburg, and environmental education specialists from the three involved UNESCO Global Geoparks. It will be embedded into the international research and geopark landscapes through various collaborations.

Alpine human-environment-systems are affected by various types of natural hazards by their very nature. Climate change is expected to alter exposure to natural hazards in Alpine regions as a result of changes in temperature and precipitation. Resilience, as the capacity to master tasks and challenges with available resources, determines whether individuals and communities in Alpine regions are able to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover after facing a disturbance or challenge like climate change impacts or hazardous events.
The proposed project KIDZ PAZ-NOWn aims at strengthening resilience in Paznaun Valley in Tyrol (Austria) with respect to potential climate- and water-related hazards in the near (2021-2050) and far (2071-2100) future. The study area has been selected deliberately by the interdisciplinary investigation team as Paznaun Valley looks back at a history of extreme weather events, natural hazards (especially floods and avalanches like the massive Galtür avalanche event in 1999 or the highly destructive flood in 2005) and epidemics/pandemics (e.g. the Plague and more recently the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic). In KIDZ PAZ-NOWn, climate- and water-related hazards will be derived from current state-of-the art climate projections as well as from subsequent hydrological simulations for the study region, involving the experience of the local population in the framework of a mutual learning process (e.g. by jointly defining hazard-relevant indicators or “what-if-scenarios” of potential future land use changes). In KIDZ PAZ-NOWn, we go beyond the traditional interpretation of resilience of “recovering the status quo before a crisis/threat occurred” as mentioned above. In our approach, resilience is the strive to use learning effects resulting from a
research-education-collaboration, which aims at raising scientific and societal literacy, and fostering an intergenerational dialogue, to analyze prior challenges and evolve via a socio-ecological transformation towards sustainability.
To reach the defined goals of increased resilience and sustainable development in Paznaun Valley, we follow an inter-and transdisciplinary research approach by i) linking the disciplines of Hydroclimatology (University of Innsbruck), Behavioral Medicine (Medical University of Innsbruck), and Education for Sustainable Development (University of Innsbruck) as well as ii) science and society in the framework of a three-year research-education-collaboration. The societal groups involved in the project cover a wide range of individuals with different ages, perspectives, experience horizons, and living conditions, with a special focus on young people (students), which will be the most affected by future challenges of 21st century, but also representatives from hazard-relevant institutions (e.g. local rescue teams) as well as from the local community administration. With the proposed inter- and transdisciplinary research approach we lay an optimistic foundation for lasting future resilience and the transformation of societies towards sustainability in Paznaun Valley. As the valley is not only an example for a typical Alpine valley with a history of climate- and
water-related hazards in the past, but is also representative for many Austrian valleys in terms of demographic and educational structure, the findings achieved in KIDZ PAZ-NOWn can be transferred to other, similar mountain environments and contexts.

Plastic waste as a persistent contaminant of our environment is a matter of increasing concern due to the longevity of plastic in the environment and largely unknown long-term effects on biota. Although freshwater systems are known to be the transport paths of plastic debris to the ocean, most research has been focused on marine environments. Freshwater have advanced rapidly, but they rarely address the spatial distribution of plastic debris in the water column. A methodology for measuring microplastic transport at various depths was developed by the project team. However, plastic contamination in the Austrian mountains is not yet been addressed at all. Likewise, there is no information about possible biodegradation by microbes. Yet, river corridors represent one of the most used and modified landscape elements in the Alps. They provide key ecosystem services (ES), but currently many of them are endangered. Hence the effects of human uses on the rivers and ES need to be understood and tackled. Based on the required process understanding and knowledge gaps, AlPlast aims - for the first time - to quantify plastic occurrence in the Austrian Alps, ranging from the glaciers at the top, over steep mountain channels to medium sized lowland rivers.
In a multi-step approach, hot-spots will be identified to measure microplastic in relevant Alpine areas. Particle counts, type determination and concentrations will be elaborated for description of the most abundant plastic types in the Alpine environment. For addressing also the smallest particle sizes, a strategy combining net sampling and isokinetic pump sampling is suggested to fully investigate microplastic occurrence and transport in the Austrian Alps. Glaciers will be addressed as being the remotest areas of the Austria Alps. If microplastic finds its way to these areas, possible transport paths will be evaluated. Also, temporal changes of microplastic load in the snow cover will be tackled by taking snow samples in snow pits with 10 cm depth resolution.
A transdisciplinary approach is envisaged from the beginning of the project. Important stakeholders were already integrated into the team in the preliminary phase of the project. This is already of central importance in the selection of the sampling sites, but also with regard to the sampling, the inclusion of citizen science should lead to an improvement and expansion of the data sets. In terms of dissemination and the sustainability of the project's impacts, the integration of local society and stakeholders should bring decisive advantages. GIS-based upscaling and estimation of plastic pollution on a larger scale, based on the collected data and identified variables shall result in a pollution heat map for the Alpine region as a basis for plastic pollution management in Austria.
Microplastics degrading microbes potentially present at the very same sampling sites will be identified based on knowledge about biodegradation of the respective synthetic polymers. Therefore, modern methods of metagenome analysis will be used for the discovery of even un-culturable microbes and their enzymes. In parallel, microorganisms potentially present will be cultivated and degradation of (labelled) model polymers and real microplastic samples assessed. An interdisciplinary team will address the different research questions.

In mountain regions, competing demands for use are concentrated along rivers in mostly narrow valleys. After systematic channelization and sediment retention by transverse structures in the catchment massively impaired biodiversity as well as direct human uses, and after the condition deteriorated further due to riverbed incision, river widening emerged as an effective countermeasure. With increasing awareness of the ecosystem services (ES) provided by a functioning hydromorphology and in order to reduce the bedload input required for bed stabilisation, the provision of corridors is recommended for channel widening. There, the hydromorphology can develop freely and is thus mainly determined by the bedload supply. However, the required amount of bedload that would ensure the functionality of the hydromorphology to provide the ES needed today and the associated space requirements are unknown.
HyMo4us! first surveys the historical and current uses along Alpine rivers. For a study section of the Drava, a hydromorphological laboratory model is deployed to search for the bedload input, which results in a morphology corresponding to the historical condition. Based on the morphology and morphodynamics recorded in detail, ES such as habitat provision, flood protection, groundwater supply and offers for recreational activities are determined for these conditions. Subsequently, the results of the laboratory model are used to identify the range of bedload input, which creates a hydromorphology that offers ES according to the surveyed human demands. Additional investigations of major flow events indicate the resilience in the provision of ES under climate change-induced changes in hydrology and bedload input, and serve to narrow down the target bedload input. Following the hypothesis that the width distribution of a natural channel is related to the depth transverse distribution, regression analysis is used to try to exploit the potential of historical maps for calculating a historical bedload transport as a natural reference. The resulting bedload and space requirements will be analysed with an experienced planner for feasibility, and a dialogue with policy makers on the weighting of current uses will be promoted. The results will lead to a guideline that will be made available as a support for current river development and risk management concepts. The development of didactic material together with pupils and a training course offered for teacher training colleges promote a responsible approach to the hydromorphology of alpine rivers across generations.
