DYNAMICS ASSESSMENT OF THE GLACIER INYLCHEK IN KYRGYZSTAN BASED ON ABLATION MEASUREMENTS

Mountain glaciers serve as one of the most sensitive indicators of environmental and climate changes. One of the most interesting glaciated regions in Kyrgyzstan is Inylchek glacier, which is considered to be a unique natural laboratory. It allows conducting a variety of research related to glacier dynamics, climate changes and hydrological regimes and associated environmental natural processes. One of the tasks to assess its dynamics is conducting ablation measurements.
