| Abstract |
Glaciers shrinkage are reported in the world recently. There are a lotof glaciers in the world. However, limited number of them havedirectly observed their mass balance. This study focus on the glacierwhich is not estimated ever, which contribute to the accurate estimateof glaciers volume fluctuation.Many glaciers are in Altai mountain range which runs from Russia toChina through Mongolia . Glaciers in Mongol Altai has not researchedever. The observation started in 2003 and mass balance of the glacierwas obtained by the extensive field research held in 2008. And, thecharacteristics of the glacier has revealed by comparing to a glacierin Russian Altai which has been observed for more than 50 years.Observation method and latest research result will be introduced. |
