Summary
| Description |
English:
This map represents the length change of six Swiss glaciers (Grosser Altesch Glacier, Gries Glacier, Silvretta Glacier, Rhone Glacier, Trift Glacier, Vadret da Morteratsch) since 1986. The Switzerland’s map highlights the geographical location of the glaciers. On the map, two distintic shapes can be seen: triangles and rectangles. The triangular shapes on the map represents the position oh each glacier and have a different size because of the different height above the sea level the glaciers have. The rectangular shapes represents the total glaciers’ length change in meters each of the glaciers had from 1986 to 2022. A more clear comparison of this data is shown in the horizontal graph on the left. The data of the information can be found on the Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland GLAMOS, more specificaly in the file “Glacier length changes” that can be directly downloaded from the website.
Italiano:
Questa mappa rappresenta la variazione di lunghezza di sei ghiacciai svizzeri (Ghiacciaio Grosser Altesch, Ghiacciaio del Gries, Ghiacciaio del Silvretta, Ghiacciaio del Rodano, Ghiacciaio del Trift, Vadret da Morteratsch) a partire dal 1986. La mappa della Svizzera evidenzia la posizione geografica dei ghiacciai. Sulla mappa si possono notare due forme distinte: triangoli e rettangoli. Le forme triangolari sulla mappa rappresentano la posizione di ciascun ghiacciaio e hanno dimensioni diverse a causa della diversa altezza sul livello del mare dei ghiacciai. Le forme rettangolari rappresentano la variazione in metri della lunghezza totale dei ghiacciai dal 1986 al 2022. Un confronto più chiaro di questi dati è mostrato nel grafico orizzontale a sinistra. I dati delle informazioni sono reperibili sul sito del monitoraggio dei ghiacciai in Svizzera GLAMOS, in particolare nel file “Variazioni di lunghezza” che può essere scaricato direttamente dal sito.
Deutsch: Diese Karte zeigt die Längenänderung von sechs Schweizer Gletschern (Grosser Alteschgletscher, Griesgletscher, Silvrettagletscher, Rhonegletscher, Triftgletscher, Vadret da Morteratsch) seit den 1986 Jahren. Die Karte der Schweiz zeigt die geografische Lage der Gletscher. Auf der Karte sind zwei unterschiedliche Formen zu sehen: Dreiecke und Rechtecke. Die dreieckigen Formen auf der Karte stellen die Position jedes einzelnen Gletschers dar und haben eine unterschiedliche Größe aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Höhe der Gletscher über dem Meeresspiegel. Die rechteckigen Formen stellen die gesamte Längenänderung der Gletscher in Metern dar, die jeder Gletscher zwischen 1986 und 2022 erfahren hat. Ein deutlicherer Vergleich dieser Daten ist in dem Säulendiagramm links dargestellt. Die Daten der Informationen sind auf der Website des Gletschermonitorings in der Schweiz GLAMOS zu finden, genauer gesagt in der Datei „Gletscherlängenänderungen“, die direkt von der Website heruntergeladen werden kann. |
