Extent of glaciers
Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland (GLAMOS) aims to document glacier changes in Switzerland in the long term. Data are collected systematically, not only on development of surface area and volume, but also on snow accumulation, melting of ice, glacier flow and ice temperatures. This information is important for understanding the interaction between glaciers and climate. It is used to estimate water resources, natural hazards and future rise in sea level. Glacier inventories include perimeters, surface areas and other measurement parameters for all glaciers at a given time in a specific area. For the Swiss Alps, complete inventories are available for the years 1850 (reconstructed subsequently), 1973, 2010 and 2016 (derived from aerial photographs).

Das Messnetz GLAMOS wird getragen durch die ETH Zürich und die Universtäten Fribourg und Zürich. Die Arbeiten sind durch die langfristige finanzielle Unterstützung vom Bundesamt für Umwelt (BAFU), MeteoSchweiz im Rahmen von GCOS Schweiz und die Akademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz (SCNAT) gesichert. Einen massgeblichen Beitrag leistet zudem das Bundesamt für Landestopografie swisstopo mit seinen Produkten und Diensten.
