- W2079779436 abstract "Systematic observations of Himalayan glaciers over the last few decades provide reliable indications of continuous shrinkage of most of the glaciers. Changes in mass, volume, area and length of glaciers are reported, but an up-to-date regional assessment of glacier changes is lacking. In the present study, satellite data, maps and ground-based measurements have been used to obtain the snout retreat and surface changes of the Tipra Glacier in the Alaknanda river basin of the Garhwal Himalaya for the period 1962–2008. The study reveals that a large part of the glacier has been detached from the main trunk and separated into the Tipra (7.5 km 2 ) and Rataban (7.4 km 2 ) Glaciers as it had one outlet (snout) in 1987. Between 1962 and 2002 estimated surface area reduced by ~18% and snout retreat was ~535 m with an average rate of 13.4 m a −1 . Measurement of snout positions of the Tipra and Rataban Glaciers from 2002 to 2008 indicates an enhanced annual retreat of 21.3 and 21.2 m a −1 , respectively. Total frontal area vacated during this period was calculated to be 0.084 km 2 for Tipra Glacier and 0.028 km 2 for Rataban Glacier. The estimated Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) rise was 76 m for the Tipra Glacier and 57 m for the Rataban Glacier. Accumulation Area Ratio (AAR) was calculated as 0.47 for the Tipra Glacier and 0.49 for the Rataban Glacier, during the study period. The observations compared with the other studies carried out in the region show a significant reduction in glacier areas. The increased retreat rate of glacier snouts is probably a direct consequence of global warming. The present snouts of the Tipra and Rataban Glaciers are located at altitudes of 3865 and 4120 m, respectively." @default.
