Glacial change is a key indicator of global environmental change especially in terms of climatic changes. The change in glacial cover area and volume have numerous ecological and socioeconomic implications e.g. (i) on availability of water resources downstream (ii) alpine plant species distribution (iii) tourism. Through partnerships with local and international institutions, we participate in monitoring of glacier recession using remote sensing and field observation in Mt Rwenzori, and our publications can be accessed online.
