flag Severe avalanches, fueled by extreme snowstorms, are sharply reducing mountain goat populations in Alaska.

flag Severe avalanche seasons, driven by intense snowstorms like atmospheric rivers, are causing significant declines in mountain goat populations, especially in steep, snowy regions. flag Avalanches can kill goats directly or destroy vital habitat, disrupting food access and raising mortality. flag While some populations recover, repeated extreme events hinder recovery and threaten long-term stability. flag Researchers in Alaska, including areas near Porcupine Mountain, are studying these impacts to inform conservation efforts amid climate-driven weather extremes.
