#OurChangingMountains
⛰️🌍 Mountains are underrepresented in global #datasets, yet are critical for understanding #ClimateChange & its impacts.
Strengthening #observations in #OurChangingMountains is key. 🗝️
MRI contributed this perspective at last month's Global Climate Observing System #GCOS meeting.

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.
🔥🌲 What happens when #wildfires meet #permafrost?
New research shows a complex climate story:
➡️ Some fires may cool the #climate when coupled with snowpack. ❄️
➡️ But in places like Alaska, fires can thaw permafrost & release stored #carbon, driving warming 🌍
