US EditionSwitzerland has lost 10% of its glaciers in 2 years, research reveals
- Switzerland's glaciers have experienced a catastrophic loss, with their overall volume shrinking by 10% in the last two years, due to low snowfall and warm temperatures.
- The extent of the loss is unprecedented, with as much ice being lost in the last two years as in the three decades between 1960 and 1990.
- The situation is dire, as small glaciers are disappearing, leaving behind dangerous black slopes and debris-covered ice, and even monitoring programs are being closed down due to safety concerns.

STUDY. Switzerland has lost almost 10% of its glaciers in the last two years. Scientists are worried about accelerated melting
Aproape 10% din ghețarii Elveției s-au topit în ultimii doi ani într-un ritm accelerat, din cauza temperaturilor extreme, potrivit un nou studiu. Potrivit Academiei Elvețiene de Științe, în 2022 s-a înregistrat cea mai ridicată rată de topire a ghețarilor, însă datele arată că și în 2023 cifrele sunt la fel de alarmante. "Accelerația de topire este dramatică: am pierdut în doi ani la fel de multă gheață ca între 1960 și 1990", spun oamenii de șt…

As thaw accelerates, Swiss glaciers lose 10% of volume in past 2 years, experts say
A Swiss Academy of Sciences panel is reporting a dramatic acceleration of glacier melt in the Alpine country, which has lost 10% of its ice volume in just two years after high summer heat and low snow volumes in winter. The academy says Switzerland — home to the most glaciers of any country in Europe — has seen 4% of its total glacier volume disappear in 2023, the second-biggest decline in a single year on top of a 6% drop in 2022, the biggest t…
