One of the most serious consequences of the global warming it is dissolution of the glaciers. They disappear faster and faster. They are essential water reserves. This year the accident on the Marmolada killed 11 people, but what is happening around the world is also serious.
In Alaska of the 19 glaciers in Kenai Fjords National Park, 13 show a remarkable retreat. Kenai Fjords National Park covers nearly 670,000 acres. Of the 19 remaining glaciers, 4 are stable and 2 are growing, but unfortunately 13 have shrunk. The Bear Glacier lost 5 km in the period from 1984 to 2021. The Pedersen 3.2 km in the same period.
Taryn Black, PhD in Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington’s Polar Science Center, the study’s principal co-author, says:
In Alaska, most of the glacier retreat is caused by climate change. They get more rain than snow in winter, as temperatures rise.
The change in the glaciers of the national park in south central Alaska will impact local terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems and will have a major impact on ecotourism. In total, the 19 glaciers have lost 42 square kilometers of ice.
