Climate change could result in the loss of up to 92% of glaciers in the Alps by the end of this century according to new research findings.

Led by researchers at Aberystwyth University, the European Union-funded ‘CHANGE’ project has modelled the Environmental Equilibrium Line Altitude of valley glaciers across the European Alps in order to make more accurate predictions of their likely response to climate change.
