Understanding the recent evolution of a small Alpine glacier: from geodetic mass balance reconstruction (1991-2020) to local variability of glaciers retreat.
Abstract:<p>High Alpine environments are rapidly changing in response to climate change, and understanding the evolution of small glaciers is a crucial step to investigate future water availability for populations that inhabits these areas. With an average loss of 1.6 km<sup>2</sup>&#160;of regional glacier area every year,&#160;Aosta Valley is predicted to lose most of its glaciers before the end of the century.&#160;With this study, we present a compre… Show more
