Mountain glaciers, mainly composed by ice at the melting temperature,are particularly sensitive to climate changes, responding with variationsin length and volume. Since late 19th century, glacier frontal fluctuationshave been considered as proxy of climate changes. . The spectacularretreat of mountain glaciers in the last three decades is considered asthe most clear and convincing evidence of global warming.1985Recession of Morteratsch Glacier (CH) between 1985 and 20072007Source: : J.
