| Summary |
| Glaciers, particularly mountain glaciers are sensible to global climate change because of their surface temperature which is near to melting/freezing point. Thus, studies about monitoring glaciers are increasing in recent years. It can be seen in glacier studies, remote sensing has been used by many researchers in parallel with the development in satellite technology. As a part of monitoring the recent glacier change of Turkey’s mountains project, Mount Suphan has been studied using Landsat images. MSS false colour composite images and TM4/TM5 band combination has been used for delineating glaciers, and applied the change detection techniques to determine the change on glacial area. Also, these results have been compared with meteorological data. As a result, it can be said that there is a recession in Mount Suphan glaciers due to global climate change. |
