❄️🏔️ As glaciers retreat, new landscapes are emerging.

Scientists working across disciplines are invited to take a 5–10 min survey for the BeyondIceFutures project.

Your input will help identify key research gaps & shape positive futures in deglaciated landscapes.

👉 Take the survey: buff.ly/sgMr3r4

Inspiring words from WMO SG Celeste Saulo at #WorldGlaciersDay & #WorldWaterDay 2026 ❄️💧

Collaboration, monitoring, & shared data are key – & central to the MRI's work. As we move into the Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences, we remain committed to making connections for #OurChangingMountains.
