We are currently developing a project using digital technologies for the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation, based on the development of an app that focuses on a citizen science approach to monitoring the effect, risk, and hazards of climate change in glaciers and mountain areas. As a climate adaptation tool for mountain communities, governments, and mountain users to condense and assess in real time climate changes and hazards, local information related to the cryosphere.
This idea of community-based monitoring of glaciers and climate change in mountains is an initiative linked to the 2025 `Year of Glaciers Preservation’ and the `Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences 2025-2035´.
This app is a clear contribution to the five objectives of the IYGP: raise awareness, promote action, enhance scientific understanding, strengthen policy frameworks, and strengthen financial support. Especially in developing countries.
In particular, this app focuses on creating accessible, timely, reliable, disaggregated, and fit-for-purpose data and monitoring in topics such as:
– Glacier retreat and changes on the cryosphere.
– Glof’s occurrence monitoring
– Extreme weather patterns, floods, landslides
– Human impacts on glaciers
