Experts believe this may be due to local climate change and global warming. However, given the cold winter, the reason for the unusual glacier melting and flooding has attracted widespread attention. According to an annual research project led by Mehta, a scientist at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, the eight glaciers upstream of the Rishiganga River have lost 10% of their ice mass, the lowest in three years. The total glacier area has decreased from 243 square kilometers in 1980 to 217 square kilometers in 2017. The Uttari Nanda Devi Glacier in the north has seen the largest decrease, a 7.7% decrease. Mehta said that glaciers in the Himalayas appear to be retreating faster than anywhere else in the world. The research team mapped the extent and dynamics of glaciers in the upper Rishiganga River and the Nanda Devi region, finding that most glaciers are shrinking. Mehta believes that the accelerated glacier retreat, against the backdrop of global warming since the mid-1990s, may be related to rising global temperatures.
