Glaciers are important for many reasons, e.g. their high sensitivity to even slight climate changes; vast reservoirs of fresh water resources; agents of landscape sculpturing; habitat for some rare species; working as sink for palaeoclimatic signals; life source for many big rivers; and contributor to sea level change. Governments of different countries want to have first-hand data about various aspects of glaciers, particularly how fast glacier mass is changing.

Abstract


Glaciers are important for many reasons, e.g. their high sensitivity to even slight climate changes; vast reservoirs of fresh water resources; agents of landscape sculpturing; habitat for some rare species; working as sink for palaeoclimatic signals; life source for many big rivers; and contributor to sea level change. Governments of different countries want to have first-hand data about various aspects of glaciers, particularly how fast glacier mass is changing.
