Everest glacier created over 2000 years, melted in 25 years New research
世界最高峰エベレストの頂上周辺に存在する氷河について、形成に要した時間のおよそ８０倍のペースで融解しているとする新たな研究が発表されました
A new study has been announced that glaciers around the summit of Everest, the highest peak in the world, are melting at a pace of about 80 times the time it took to form.
It ’s because of the climate change that humans are causing.
研究結果は、地球上で最も標高の高い地域で氷河が急速に融解した場合、気候に悪影響が及びかねないことを警告する内容になっています
The research results warn that if glaciers melt rapidly in the highest regions of the globe, the climate could be adversely affected.
Specifically, avalanches will occur more frequently and water sources may be depleted.
About 1.6 billion people living in the mountainous area rely on this source for their drinking water.
今回の研究論文は、気候と大気に関する研究を扱う学術誌に掲載されました
This research paper was published in an academic journal dealing with research on climate and atmosphere.
Although glacier melting has been extensively studied, scientists have so far paid little attention to the highest glaciers on Earth.
