We are a diverse group that studies the mountains and their processes. We focus on snow, ice, rivers, and the landscape. We work across a range of scales, from plots to mountain ranges and continents. We combine field observations with remote sensing and models, and we provide information for decision makers.

“The MOSH Lab is a global community of scientists, researchers, and decision makers with a focus on the mountains. ”
— Joseph Shea, Principal Investigator and MOSH lead
