New research, published in the journal Nature Communications Earth and Environment, used surface meltwater samples from four glaciers in the European Alps, as well as from Canada, Sweden, Svalbard and the western Greenland ice sheet

Next Pandemic glaciers melting; In fact, this would not be a new case, since an investigation carried out with ice samples taken

Millions of people depend on water from the glaciers of the high peaks of Asia. But southeast Tibet has some of the fastest melting glaciers in the entire continent.

Swiss glaciers; Switzerland's glaciers have lost more than half their volume in less than 100 years, and this year's long, hot summer

Union Minister of State for Technology and Earth Sciences Jitendra Singh in the Lok Sabha said that studies related to melting glaciers in the Himalayan region of India are being conducted continuously.

It is not new that glaciers around the world are losing mass, but until now little was known about what is happening to ice above 5,000 meters. 

 A study by the University of Leeds in England found that the Himalayan ice caps have lost ten times more ice in recent decades than the average since the last great glacial expansion 400 to 700 years ago, a period is known as the Little Ice Age.

Himalayan glaciers are unusually melting 10 times faster than before, so the water crisis in many Asian countries, including India.

What is happening to the Himalayan glaciers; The ice loss in Himalayan glaciers has accelerated since 2000, with nearly half a meter

Snow, glaciers disappeared; The continuous shrinking of Himalayan glaciers in South Asia is a matter of worldwide concern. Due
