Glaciers

In the remainder of the century and if urgent measures are not taken to stop global warming, a minimum of 60% of the glaciers of the entire globe could disappear before 2100.

The results of this new study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, completely change the conception of melting in this part of the world.

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

As global temperatures continue to rise and glaciers melt faster, new research suggests the risk of flooding in the Himalayas of Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir and the Tibetan Plateau could triple.

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

The average rate of retreat of the largest glacier in Uttarakhand, about 30 kilometres long, between 0.5 and 2.5 kilometres wide and with an area of ​​143 square kilometres, was 20 meters a year between 1935 and 1996

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.

The memories of the 2013 Uttarakhand disaster are fresh in minds of everyone. Sings of destruction can be still seen in Kedarnath to date which resulted in the loss of more than 6000 lives.

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.
