The unique terraced landscape along the Upper Middle Rhine Valley used to be widely known for its abundance of vineyards and orchards, but the scene has changed over the last decades which is clearly reflected by the many fallow areas along the Rhine and its side valleys. How can we preserve the unique historic landscape and make it fit for the future? As part of the project “Landschaftsmosaik Welterbe Oberes Mittelrheintal”, the KULT Center of Excellence at Hochschule Geisenheim University addresses these questions and explores strategies for a sustainable development of the region in cooperation with the local community. In addition to analyzing which areas require action, the aim is to identify sample solutions and put them into practice.

Environmental impacts of climate-related ice melt in Arctic glacier streams

Global glacier mass loss has accelerated in the previous years. Between 2000 and 2019, glaciers lost a mass of 267 ± 16 gigatons a year, which is equivalent to 21 ± 3 % of the recorded global sea level rise.

The volume of glaciers in Iceland (in 2019) corresponds to about 9 mm of the potential global sea level rise. With climate-related glacier melt, water temperature is set to increase and the hydrochemical balance will change. Scientists expect that ...
