Gefühlt müsste man hier auch Nzula Kitaka ergänzen aber ich kann es noch nicht auf eine Pioniertat herunterbrechen.

Danke! Spannend auch der Zeitstrahl mit den Pionierinnen der Limnologie.

Mountains and rivers are a great combination. Here they really melt together smoothly. Glacier fed Venter Ache River in the Ötztal Alps.

Luckily lots of room for natural river dynamics on the 1,1 km long river section. Only a few small scale river bank protections with fascines. It was revitalised in 2020. I’m looking forward what the next year are about to bring. Hoping for additional woody structures and for some undercut banks🤞

Great river restoration project in the Gurgeltal valley, Tyrol, AUT. They did some proper river widening. 4 to 5 times more
space for the Gurgelbach River. Helps to reconnect the river to last remains of the surrounding wetlands and provides flood control for the infrastructure further downstream.

Lovely braided reach of the Vils River in Tyrol. Still my favourite channel pattern. Not many braided rivers left in Austria unfortunately.

Gschnitzbach in Tyrol, Austria. Water temperatures below 13 degree Celsius throughout the whole year. Perfect conditions for brown trout.

Under current warming trajectories (+2.7°C) deglaciation of Tyrol is expected to be near total before 2075 (less than 1% of 2017 volume remaining)! 😱

Only meeting the 1.5 target could save some of them! 📈🌡️
