Dynamics of Central Asian glaciation by remote sensing data

The paper contains information on changes of glacier area in Central Asia, that distributed over the basins of the tributaries of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers. The results were generalized and synchronized to the four time slices (1961, 1980, 1991, 2000, 2020). The data for 1961 and 1980 are derived from the Catalogue of the glaciers of the USSR. The estimates for 1991 and 2020 are calculated by the method of the author, the data in 2000 are identified by processing of image from satellite LANDAST7 (scanner ETM +) and TERRA (scanner ASTER). During the 1961-2000 shrinking of glaciers in the study area ranged from 14% to 33%. By 2020 is expected to further decrease the size of glaciers. Several examples are presented of long-term monitoring of glaciers in Central Asia based on the cataloging of glaciers in the 1955-2000 years and remote sensing since 2000.
Keywords: Central Asia, glaciers, remote sensing monitoring, area shrinkage, Pamir, Aral Sea basin
