Mountain Research Initiative

🌍🏔️ The May edition of the MRI Newsletter is now available!

This month, we explore how collaboration across disciplines, regions, and scales is helping address some of the most pressing challenges facing mountain regions worldwide. Highlights include:

🔹 MRI Working Groups advancing research on climate change, governance, social-ecological systems, and mountain observatories
🔹 Mountain adaptation and governance discussions at the Mountains Connect Workshop in Bhutan
🔹 MRI-supported sessions at EGU 2026 in Vienna
🔹 New GEO Mountains-supported research from Peru examining the links between glacier retreat, water quality, and human health
🔹 New findings showing that a major wildfire in Africa's Rwenzori Mountains was unprecedented in at least 12,000 years

Plus funding opportunities, events, publications, and news from across the global mountain research community.
