摘      要：This paper calculated and evaluated the area and ice volume changes of Kangwure Glacier in ***,middle of Himalayas in the past 3 decades,based on the field survey of glacier boundary position by differential GPS and glacier depth by Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR),together with the topographic map and remote sense *** studied data showed that the Kangwure Glacier has experienced significant mass deficit since the 1970s,with 34.2%of area loss,48.2%ofice volume loss and 7.5 m of average thickness *** result revealed that the ice volume loss of Himalayan glaciers was more serious than *** of meteorological data from two weather stations in the region of ***,shows that the air temperature of this region has risen from the middle of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st *** retreat of Himalayas glacier driven by climatic warming will have a remarkable impact on hydrology and ecosystem.
