BetaBetaDataset
To show glacier area in Bhutan between 1980-2010.
Loss of glacier area was mostly observed below an elevation of 5600 m a.s.l. and was greater for clean-ice glaciers. The upward shifting of equilibrium-line altitudes (ELA) has been noticed from 5170 ± 110 m a.s.l. to 5350 ± 150 m a.s.l. in the years 1980–2010.
Dataset consists of glacier area for each year.
Satellite imagery and monitoring - a repeat decadal glacier inventory was carried out from Landsat images of 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2010
