Mountainous and glacial environments are among the most sensitive to the impact of climate change. The current trend of constantly rising GreenHouse Gas GHG emission and the consequent temperatures growth have caused an increase in the equilibrium line (i.e. the line that separates the accumulation and ablation areas of a glacier) altitude and significant and constant reduction of glacial masses. The projection of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlights how the largest snow mass loss is taking place in the regions with small glaciers like the Alps, with significant social and economic impacts. Acting as indicators of climate change, glaciers are environments with delicate balances that should be monitored over time.
