Work has begun on our new residential Field Research Centre on Mount Mulanje in Malawi. A brilliant effort by so many people - all the equipment (several tonnes) had to be carried up by hand. #Research #ClimateAction #Malawi

Fascinating lecture @RGS_IBG by the inspirational Dr Callum Munday @UniofOxford about his project to gather met observations in South Africa, Zambia & Kenya, using weather balloons. Proud to be providing high elevation data across the region #ClimateActionNow

Looking at adding some more high elevation sites to our portfolio with the collaboration of the @UFSweb very exciting to be at the top of the Maloti-Drakensberg 3,069 m high at the head of the Namahadi Pass #africanmountainresearch

Do you know that forests cover 39% of the worlds mountains? Mountain forests & grasslands
⛰️cool local temperatures
⛰️increase water retention
⛰️store carbon
⛰️reduce risk of erosion & landslides
Let’s recognize the importance of our mountain ecosystems #MountainsMatter #IMD2023

[African Mountain Research Foundation @AfricanMt]

What an inspiring talk by @Schafernaker last night at @DauntseysSchool highlighting the significance of weather data, and the range of hydro-met sources in UK. Proud to be building southern Africa’s only network of high elevation weather stations! @Campbellsci_Af

[African Mountain Research Foundation @AfricanMt]
