Example Sentences
The GLD serves as an indicator of a glacier's health throughout the year, similar to how the Earth Overshoot Day measures Earth's resource consumption.
"Already in the early summer of 2022, it became clear that the day when the ice the glacier gained during the winter starts melting away would be reached very soon. We call this day the 'Glacier Loss Day' or GLD for short. It can be compared to the Earth Overshoot Day, which marks the date when we use up more natural resources than the Earth can renew in a year," explains Annelies Voordendag.
When the GLD arrives, it means the glacier is no longer in balance with the natural conditions for that year.
In 2022 the GLD was measured on the 23rd of June.
Annelies Voordendag, together with a team of glaciologists at the Department of Atmospheric and Cryospheric Sciences at the University of Innsbruck, employs cutting-edge laser scanning techniques to determine the GLD.
