Description succincte (Anglais)

Meltwater from Alpine glaciers is a key component of the Swiss hydrological budget: It significantly contributes to total discharge, sustains minimum flow levels during dry periods, and shapes seasonal regimes. Due to climate change, Swiss glaciers are anticipated to lose between 59% and 93% of their 2018 ice volume by 2100. The associated glacier retreat will impact hydrology, ecosystems, sediment transport, water quality, landscapes, and mountain hazards.
