Austria's glaciers lose one-third of river regions
The glaciers in Austria have lost about one-third of their area over the past twenty years, with 95 glaciers completely melting away. This reflects an accelerating rate of melting and threatens the possible disappearance of glacier cover from some mountain ranges in the future. A comprehensive study supported by the Austrian Academy of Sciences and universities in Innsbruck, Salzburg, and Graz documents the retreat of glaciers through aerial images of 799 glaciers. It observed unprecedented retreat at high altitudes due to the recent increase in summer temperatures, with the "Pasterze" glacier retreating by a distance ranging from 4 to 10 meters.
