The Alps’ iconic glaciers are melting, but there’s still time to save the biggest
Glaciers are the ambassadors of climate change. Their worldwide decline has serious impacts on natural hazards, the water cycle, and sea level rise. The monitoring of glaciers documents the increasingly rapid melting, which has culminated in a suite of extreme years—for example, 2023 in North America and the European Alps. Numerical simulations of future glacier change, supported by a large basis of observational data, allow us to understand the …
Accelerated global glacier mass loss in the early twenty-first century
From dwindling ice to headwater lakes
The potential exploitation of areas becoming ice-free in response to ongoing climate change has rarely been addressed, although it could be of interest from the water management perspective. Here we present an estimate for the potential of mitigating projected changes in seasonal water availability from melting glaciers by managing runoff through reservoirs. For the European Alps we estimate that by the end of the century, such a strategy could o…
The days of plenty might soon be over in glacierized Central Asian catchments
Despite the fact that the fast-growing population of Central Asia strongly depends on glacial melt water for fresh water supply, irrigation and hydropower production, the impact of glacier shrinkage on water availability remains poorly understood. With an annual area loss of 0.36 to 0.76%, glaciers are retreating particularly fast in the northern Tien Shan, thus causing concern about future water security in the densely populated regions of Bishk…
Glacier mass balance in the south-eastern Swiss Alps since 1900 and perspectives for the future
In this study, we analyzed the 20(th) century ice volume changes for 20 glaciers in the south-eastern Swiss Alps. Our sample included different glacier geometries, sizes and exposures and allowed us to investigate glacier response to climate change. Using a distributed accumulation and temperature-index melt model, we derived mass balance time series in seasonal resolution from 1900. The model was calibrated using ice volume changes obtained from…
