The Scientists of Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun conducted a study and have found that glaciers in Sikkim region are melting at faster.
Since 2000, the western and central Himalayan glaciers have showed reduced melting.
Whereas in case of Sikkim Glaciers, the melting rate has increased.
Summer temperature increase is the main reason for glacier changes.
This study is the first in India to study about multiple parameters of glaciers namely length, Debris cover, area, glacial lakes, snow line altitude.
