ИСТИНА

Numerous studies report that the global climate change leads to the shrinkage of mountain glaciers that are highly sensitive to climate alterations. The variations in global temperatures have affected glacier regimes and parameters, specifically, area and volume. This hypothesis can be tested through cartographic and remote sensing monitoring of the glacial features and the evolution of landforms and deposits in proglacial areas. In the last decades, remote sensing has received increasing attention for assessing impacts derived from climate change. It enables comparison of landscape dynamics related to recent glacier retreat on a multitemporal scale and has potential for identifying geomorphological features and evaluating modifications.
