Glacier monitoring

Glacier monitoring involves tracking changes in glacier size, shape, and movement over time to understand their response to climate change. Scientists use tools like satellite imagery, GPS sensors, and aerial surveys to measure how glaciers are melting, thinning, or retreating. This data helps predict future sea level rises and assess regional water resources. Monitoring provides crucial insights into the health of glaciers, which are vital indicators of climate health, allowing researchers and policymakers to make informed decisions on climate action and adaptation strategies.
