Melting Glaciers: How Satellite Data Reveals Earth’s Changing Landscapes

The Impact of Melting Glaciers

Across Europe and the world, melting glaciers are dramatically reshaping our landscapes and altering climate systems. Researchers Elzė Buslavičiūtė and Dr. Laurynas Jukna from the Institute of Geosciences have been studying this phenomenon closely. Their research highlights the importance of satellite data in tracking these changes.

Satellite data on melting glaciers

The use of modern technology allows scientists to monitor glacier retreat and its implications for our environment. With every passing year, we witness significant shifts in the Earth’s climate. These changes affect not just the geography, but also the ecosystems that depend on glaciers. The data collected serves as a crucial tool for understanding broader climate patterns and predicting future changes.
