Summary
editDescriptionThe Carstensz Glacier, in New Guinea, is poised to disappear.jpg |
English: One of the most obvious signs of climate change is the speed at which glaciers and ice sheets are disappearing — and not only beyond the Arctic or the Antarctic Circle. One of these is the Carstensz Glacier, near the peak of the Puncak Jaya mountain on the South Pacific island of New Guinea. According to Donaldi Sukma Permana, researcher at the Indonesian Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG), the Carstensz Glacier is likely to completely disappear by 2023. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 26 August 2020, shows the Carstensz Glacier, whose surface area at the time of acquisition was less than 2 ha while it stood at 180 ha in 2005! Open data supplied by the Copernicus Sentinel satellites are used to monitor the retreat of glaciers around the world. |
