Glacier response to climate change
... Individual glaciers’ response times to changes in climate vary from 5 to more than 100 years, so it’s risky to use any one patch of ice as a benchmark for regional climate change. Most of the small, steep alpine glaciers respond quickly, rolling a wave of newly gained ice down to their terminus to a ...
