Heatwaves in summer 2022 forces substantial mass loss for Urumqi Glacier No. 1, China

Heatwaves in summer 2022 forces substantial mass loss for Urumqi Glacier No. 1, China

Extreme heat events in the summer of 2022 were observed in Eurasia, North America and China. Glaciers are a unique indicator of climate change, and the European Alps experienced substantial glacier mass loss as a result of the conditions in 2022, which prompted a wide range of community concerns.
