Abstract
The new satellite-derived Swiss glacier inventory revealed that mean glacier area loss per decade from 1985 to 1998/99 has accelerated by a factor of seven compared to the period 1850–1973. Moreover, the satellite data display much evidence that down-wasting (i.e. stationary thinning) has become a major source of glacier mass loss, an observation that is confirmed by in situ mass balance measurements. Many of the observedchanges (growing rock outcrops, tongue separation, formation of pro-glacial lakes, albedo lowering, collapse struct
