#Italien: #Klimawandel macht Gletschermessung unmöglich

Der #Ventina #Gletscher in Italiens #Lombardei ist ein Symbol der #Klimakrise. Seit 1895 hat er 1,7 Kilometer verloren, allein fast 200 Meter seit 2021. Wegen Schmelze und Geröll können #Geologen ihn nun nicht mehr klassisch messen. In den #Alpen sind bereits 64 Prozent des Eises verschwunden.

İtalya'nın Ventina Buzulu eriyor: Jeologlar artık sadece uzaktan ölçüm yapacak |

İtalya’nın kuzeyindeki Lombardiya bölgesinin en büyük buzullarından biri olan Ventina Buzulu, iklim değişikliği nedeniyle o kadar eridi ki, jeologlar artık onu son 130 yıldır yaptıkları yöntemle ölçemiyor.

Italy’s Ventina glacier in northern Lombardy has melted so much due to climate change that geologists can no longer measure it the way they have for the past 130 years.

Italy's Ventina glacier has melted so much geologists now can only monitor it remotely

Italy’s Ventina glacier in northern Lombardy has melted so much due to climate change that geologists can no longer measure it the way they have for the past 130 years. After this year’s hot summer, geologists discovered that the simple stakes used as benchmarks to measure the glacier’s retraction each year are now buried under rockslides, snowmelt and debris that have made the terrain too unsteady for future in-person visits. The Lombardy Glaciological Service will now use drone imagery and remote sensing to keep track of the ongoing shrinkage of the Ventina glacier. The glacier has already lost 1.7 kilometers (1 mile) in length since the first measuring benchmarks were positioned at the front of the glacier in 1895.
