China's mountain glaciers, concentrated on the Tibetan Plateau and adjacent areas, are undergoing accelerated melt amid a warmer, wetter climate, the National Climate Center said. Chinese glacier catalogs show Tibetan Plateau glacier area has fallen about 24% over the past 60 years and roughly 7,000 small glaciers have vanished. Rapid warming is driving accelerated cryosphere loss: glacial lakes have increased and expanded quickly, glaciers are entering a state of dynamic instability, and internal structural stability is expected to decline further. The center warned glacier-related disasters are likely to become more frequent and could cascade into larger, more damaging events.
