1. Himalayan glacier melting observed from space
   03-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The Himalayan glaciers are melting under the effect of global warming. However, the extent of this melting remains difficult to assess from ground surveys owing to the great number of glaciers, the difficulty of access and the vastness of the mountain chain. IRD and CNRS scientists from the research units Great Ice and Legos have overcome these difficulties by using satellite imagery. This is the first step of a much more extensive project: evaluation and surveillance of the whole system of Himalayan glaciers .
