[MIS01-05] Changes in mountain glacier systems and the distribution of main climatic parameters on the territory of Russia (XX -XXI century)
Keywords:mountain glaciers , climate change, Russia, glacier changes
Glaciation exists on the territory of Russia for thousands of years. Glaciers are located now on islands and archipelagoes of Russian Arctic and in mountain regions of continental part of the country and currently cover the area of about 3,480,000 km². Now there are 18 mountain glacier regions on the territory of continental Russia. We present recent data on glaciers state and changes in these regions based on remote sensing and in situ studies and distribution of main climatic parameters that affect the existence of glaciers: summer air temperature and winter precipitation.
