This project investigates the retreat of glaciers in the Rwenzori mountain range in East Africa. It employs remote sensing and geophysical methods to assess glacier dynamics and their response to climate change, aiming to understand the implications for local ecosystems and water resources.
At the border between Uganda and the D.R. of Congo, the Rwenzoris form a remote and high-altitude mountain range stretching through the East African Rift System.
With heights of 4-5 km, they include Africa's third highest peak (Mt.
Stanley, 5109 m) as well as some of the last African glaciers.
The combined area of the Rwenzori glaciers declined by more than 75% during the 20th century, and halved between 1987 and 2006.
This extreme mass loss may have strong implications for the local hydrology,…
