Hydropower depends on timing
Glacier-fed catchments can support generation, but changing seasonal flows and sudden sediment-rich floods create operational and capital risk.
The Glacier Economy
Water, electricity, roads, insurance and tourism all meet at the edge of a glacier. We follow these connections without pretending nature has only a financial value.
Glacier-fed catchments can support generation, but changing seasonal flows and sudden sediment-rich floods create operational and capital risk.
Retreating ice changes viewpoints, walking access, safety, guiding seasons and the infrastructure required to reach a glacier.
Satellite services, sensors, modelling, engineering and emergency communications form a growing climate-adaptation supply chain.
