New Model Predicts A Glacier's Life

Researchers have developed a numerical model that can re-create the state of Switzerland's Rhne Glacier as it was in 1874 and predict its evolution until the year 2100. This is the longest period of time ever modeled in the life of a glacier, involving complex data analysis and mathematical techniques. The work will serve as a benchmark study for those interested in the state of glaciers and their relation to climate change.
