Mapping Temporal Changes of Contemporary Glaciers in the Chandra Basin, Lahaul Himalaya Between 1989 and 2022

Key Points

• Glaciers in Chandra Basin have shown significant retreat since 1989, highlighting climate change effects.
• Between 1989 and 2022, remote sensing techniques captured over a 30% reduction in glacier area.
• This analysis employs remote sensing data to assess spatial changes over three decades in the region.
• The findings underscore urgent concerns about water resources and climate stability in mountainous areas.
