Glacier Melt: Global Impacts and Urgent Climate Action
Abstract
This collection of studies investigates the global phenomenon of glacial retreat driven by climate change. Research across various regions, including Canada, the Arctic, the Himalayas, and tropical zones, details accelerating ice loss and its multifaceted impacts. These impacts range from contributions to sea-level rise and threats to water security to permafrost destabilization and increased risks of natural hazards like glacial lake outburst floods. The findings underscore the vulnerability of glaciers to warming temperatures and highlight the critical need for mitigation efforts
