Volume : II, Issue : VIII, September - 2012 Remote Sensing Technique for Monitoring the Glacier Retreating Process and Climatic Changes Study Sainath P. Aher and Sanjaykumar N. Dalvi DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Glacier is an important natural resource on the earth surface which appears in
the solid state of water. Glaciers are formed due to accumulation of ice above snow line
under extreme cold climate where the average temperature is always below freezing
point during the warmest month of the year. It grow by gradual transformation of snow
into granular snow, then into firn or neve and finally into solid glacial ice. About 10 % of
earth surface is now covered by glaciers which has the different type's i.e. continental
glaciers, ice caps, highland glaciers, valley glaciers, transaction glaciers, piedmont
glaciers etc. The estimated number of all types of glaciers all over the world ranges
between 70,000 and 200, 000. The areas of accumulation of huge volume of ice are called
'snow fields' which generates of different dimension. [11] As far this characteristic, in
this era glacier becomes a significant task of the study, because the human and
environmental relationship is important issue in recent century. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Sainath P. Aher and Sanjaykumar N. Dalvi, (2012).
