Urumqi, July 30 -- Chinese scientists have accurately reconstructed a complete record of glacier melt from 2000 to 2023 in the Muz Taw Glacier of the Sawur Mountains in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, providing crucial scientific evidence for understanding glacier response mechanisms under climate change.
The study, led by Wang Puyu's team from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been published in the international journal Advances in Climate Change Research.
The research team employed a fully distributed energy balance model to simulate and reconstruct the annual series of mass balance from 2000 to 2023.
