【英文摘要】This project studies glacier changes using multi-source and multi-temporal remote sensing data and GIS technologies in the Mt. Naimona'Nyi area and Mt. Qomolangma region of the Himalayas on the Tibetan Plateau in China. On one hand, several comprehensive methods on glacier delineation from satellite images were tried; results were integrated by sequential time series using the algebraic operations in the Arc/Info Grid module to verify the methods and the results. The spatial-temporal integrated GRID data sets were generated to identify areas of real glacier changes and "noises" in the last three decades. Measurement accuracy of the glacier area from multi-source data was improved in the study. DEM generation and evaluation from images of stereos pairs from ALOS/PRISM was also carried out. The research has made a progress in methods for glacier detection and mapping, which provides a methodological and technical support for monitoring glacier change on Tibetan Plateau. On the other hand, it shows that glaciers retreat extensively and faster in the Himalayas on the Tibetan Plateau, both retreat and advance glaciers existed in the past 30 years, with retreat dominating and accelerating, while the nearby lakes has increased both by area and by quantities at the same time. Glacier coverage change is different both by glacier sizes and by different spatial features, e.g. different elevations, slopes and aspect. Smaller glaciers are more sensitive to climate change than larger ones. For smaller glaciers that were smaller than 1 km2, glacier coverage increased obviously in Mt. Naimona'Nyi area in 2003-2007, with an accelerated changing rate that includes both advance and retreat. Similarly, in Mapam Yumco basin, locates northern to the Mt. Naimona'Nyi area, both enlargement and reduction of lakes were accelerated in 1974-2003. Speeding change of glaciers and lakes might be an indicator of an accelerated water cycle process over the Tibetan Plateau forced by warming climate. It would serve for the future research on change of glaciers, hydrology and water resources in the warming climate on the Tibetan Plateau.
