Glacier monitoring system opportunity for UIAA member associations

In recognition for the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation, an exciting partnership opportunity – exclusively for member federations – has been offered by Envirolapse. From glaciers to mountain peaks, Envirolapse specialises in remote access monitoring systems that provide critical data for safety, operations, conservation, and climate resilience. UIAA member federations are invited to submit their expression of interest of using a remote access camera, with details on location, and intended use. To do so, please scan the QR code at the end of the video below or click this link and fill out the form by the end of February 2025.

All project submissions will be reviewed by Envirolapse and the UIAA to pinpoint the application that best aligns with goals and values.

If a suitable project is identified in a location that is logistically easily accessible for Envirolapse, the team will provide an Envirolapse camera for a 12-month period at no cost to any parties. For more ambitious or remote projects with a strong alignment to our shared goals, Envirolapse is open to exploring collaborative funding options to address logistical challenges, ensuring we maximise our impact.

This gesture will support UIAA member federations and offer valuable visual data to the selected federation’s project. For more information about this opportunity, please contact mountainprotection@theuiaa.org

Please follow the UIAA social media channels for a number of initiatives related to glacier case studies ahead of 21 March’s inaugural World Day for Glaciers.
