Abstract

Results of the annual glaciological survey (2022) conducted on Italian glaciers are here presented. About 250 volunteers operated last year in the three Alpine sectors (Piemonte - Valle d’Aosta, Lombardy and Triveneto) and in the Apennines (Calderone Glacier, Gran Sasso Group) observing two hundred and two glaciers. One hundred and eighteen glaciers were observed in the Piemonte - Valle d’Aosta sector while frontal variation was measured at the snout of sixty glaciers. Twenty-seven and fifty-seven glaciers were visited in the Lombardy Sector and in the Triveneto Sector, respectively (twenty-one and forty-three of which were measured, respectively). Mass balance measurements were conducted on seventeen Italian glaciers during the 2021-2022 hydrological year: four glaciers in the Western Alps (Piemonte - Valle d’Aosta sector), twelve in the Eastern Alps (three in the Lombardy Sector, the other glaciers in the Triveneto Sector) and one in the Central Apennines.
