Variations of Italian glaciers between 1980 and 1999 inferred by the data supplied by the Italian Glaciological Committee / Maurizio Santilli, Guiseppe Orombelli, Manuela Pelfini.

Title: Variations of Italian glaciers between 1980 and 1999 inferred by the data supplied by the Italian Glaciological Committee / Maurizio Santilli, Guiseppe Orombelli, Manuela Pelfini.
Author(s): Santilli, Maurizio.

Abstract: Gathers data recorded in Italian Alps from 335 glaciers and compares single geographic sectors, various mountain groups and groupings of glaciers with comparable aspects and size characteristics. Between 1980 and 1999 glaciers showed general retreat following some advancement in '70s and early '80s. Advancing glaciers decreased from 66% in 1980 to 4% in 1999, whilst retreating ones increased from 12% to 89%. There are some marked differences, with stronger variations in last decade of century. Retreat of small glaciers is greater in proportion to their size. On average, glacier fronts became higher by 18 m, though central sector showed +38 m, western sector only +3 m.
