[Globel Times]Mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in Himalayas significantly underestimated: study

A new study has revealed that the mass loss of 2.7 gigaton ( Gt ) lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalayas has been significantly underestimated from 2000 to 2020 , due to the inability of satellites to see glacier changes occurring underwater .With critical implications for the region ' s future projections of glacier disappearance and water resources .An international science program for interdisciplinary study of the relationships between water , ice , climate , and humankind in the region and beyond .
