RETREAT CAUSES
Recently the retreat of Alpine glaciers has been increasing dramatically with some glaciers losing over 100m of their length per year. The warmer temperatures of the last two decades resulted in a dramatic increase of the average snowline. Thus, the high alpine environment is changing rapidly with observable changes even within a relatively short time period.
