Since the 1980s, glaciers have been retreating around the world. Patrice Tordjman explores how they form, how they disappear, and the case of the last glaciers of Mercantour. Since the 1980s, all of the world’s glaciers have been losing mass, and that loss is only accelerating. What is the process behind their formation, and therefore their decline? And what about the specific case of the last glaciers of Mercantour, the southernmost in the Alps? A lecture by Patrice Tordjman, geologist and regular scientific team member of the well-known glaciologist Luc Moreau.
