Glaciers.com Research & Watch Network

Local knowledge.
Global watch.

We are inviting researchers and credible regional contributors to help build a timely, source-linked public record of glacier change and its consequences.

Scope

Connected to ice.

Our centre remains glaciers and the cryosphere. Adjacent research is included when it has a clear connection to glacier systems, hazards, water or mountain communities.

01Glaciology & cryosphere
02GLOF & mountain hazards
03Meteorology & mountain climate
04Remote sensing & GeoAI
05Hydrology & water security
06Permafrost & slope stability
07Climate attribution
08Hydropower & resilient energy

How contributions work

Open, but not unfiltered.

Glaciers.com provides visibility and public explanation. It does not replace a university, formal journal or peer review.

01 · JOIN

Introduce your work

Send your affiliation, expertise, region, research profile and the contribution you have in mind.

02 · VERIFY

Establish the source

We review identity, provenance, methods and publication status before presenting material.

03 · PUBLISH

Label it clearly

Peer-reviewed research, research notes and field observations remain visibly distinct.

04 · KEEP WATCH

Follow the region

Contributors can return with new evidence as conditions, research and risks change.

Regional Watch

Eight regions.
One public record.

Initial coverage will grow around credible contributors and useful evidence—not empty pins on a map.

What we can publish

A platform for useful work.

Contributors retain ownership of their work. Publication terms and attribution are agreed before material goes live.

Research summaries

Plain-language accounts linked to the original paper, author and institution.

Data & methods

Documented datasets, models, maps and monitoring methods with provenance.

Research notes

Clearly labelled work in progress, including remote-sensing and GeoAI analysis.

Field observations

Dated, located and attributable evidence from researchers and regional specialists.

Members participate in an independent professional capacity unless an institutional partnership is explicitly stated. Listing an affiliation does not imply endorsement by that institution.
