Project Abstract

Abstract
Climate change is a pressing global issue that has significant impacts on various aspects of the environment, including glaciers. This research project focuses on analyzing the impact of climate change on glacier retreat in a specific region. The study aims to investigate the extent of glacier retreat, identify the key factors contributing to this retreat, and assess the implications of glacier loss on the local environment and communities.
