International group of experts uses 11 case studies to reviews impacts of climate change on the availability of water from mountain regions. New article in the online open-access journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS). Abstract. Mountains are essential sources of freshwater for our world, but their role in global water resources could well be significantly altered by climate change. How well do we understand these potential changes today, and what are implications for water resources management, climate change adaptation, and evolving water policy? To answer above questions, we have examined 11 case study regions with the goal of providing a global overview, identifying research gaps and formulating recommendations for research, management and policy.
