International audience North Cascade glacier annual balance measured on 10 glaciers from 1984?2006 yielded mean annual balance (b a ) of ?0.54 m/a, and ?12.38 m cumulatively. This is a significant loss for glaciers that average 30?60 m in thickness, 20?40% of their entire volume. Two observed glacie...
