Abstract

"Glaciers under climate change"

There are approximately 200.000 individual glaciers globally, scattered from low-latitude
high mountains to high-latitude islands and to the fringes of the ice sheets. Each one
adapts to changing climate conditions individually, not only causing effects of different
kind and magnitude but also telling...
