Glaciers are huge bodies of ice formed on land as a result of compression of snow, over a century. Glaciers offer many useful resources and are key sources for freshwater. The increase in temperature on earth on account of climate change is causing rapid glacial melt, resulting in rising sea levels and significant disruptions to oceanic and land ecosystems. Thus arises the need to understand this retreat in the glaciers. To that end, this study attempts to understand influence of various driving factors leading to glacial retreat using Machine Learning and Remote Sensing techniques.
