The entire inventory can be downloaded by following the link provided below. Where in situ datasets can be associated with long-term monitoring infrastructure, they should ideally be represented in the GEO Mountains Inventory of In Situ Observational Infrastructure otherwise, they may appear in the General Inventory. Both regional and global resources are included. The Inventory is primarily focused on remotely sensed and modelled datasets spanning multiple disciplines, but also includes contains a variety of open-source software, model codes, and tools that may be useful. With a view to help alleviate some of these problems, the GEO Mountains General Inventory seeks to provide comprehensive metadata related to open datasets and data portals that may be useful in the context of mountainous applications, as well as the corresponding web links. These difficulties takes researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers away from their core tasks, and mean that the most suitable and/or latest datasets for a given application may not be consistently used. Alternatively, institutional or legacy knowledge may have to be relied upon.

Discovering potentially useful mountain datasets and other potentially useful resources is often a time-consuming and frustrating task that requires speculative web searches or trawling through the vast array of data portals that have proliferated.
