💨 Abstract

In Switzerland, scientists like Matthias Huss are monitoring glaciers, which are retreating due to global warming. The Rhone Glacier, crucial for water and hydropower, is being covered with blankets to slow melting. Huss notes that glaciers are melting not just from the top but also from beneath, creating dangerous conditions. Glaciers worldwide are at risk, with experts warning that two-thirds could disappear by the end of the century.
