The retreat of glaciers since 1850 is a well-documented effect of climate change. The retreat of mountain glaciers provide evidence for the rise in global temperatures since the late 19th century. Examples include mountain glaciers in western North America, Asia, the Alps in central Europe, and tropical and subtropical regions of South America ...
Fragments of Larsen B ice shelf lingered until 2005. Radiocarbon dating has been used to date the start of glacial retreat on Alexander Island 18,000 years ago. [1] The outermost locations like Marguerite Bay were fully deglaciated 12,000 years ago and the further inland locations continued deglaciating for an additional 3,000 years. [1]

The Little Ice Age was a period from about 1550 to 1850 when the world experienced relatively cool temperatures compared to the present. Subsequently, until about 1940 glaciers around the world retreated as the climate warmed. Glacial retreat slowed and even reversed, in many cases, between 1950 and 1980 as a slight global cooling occurred ...
Comment I have moved Glacier retreat to Retreat of glaciers since 1850 to maintain the fact that we are talking about Glaciers, not Glacial process, and to honor the need to be time specific in the title. If anyone wants to start an article on Glacial retreat then they will need to discuss the processes and mechanics.
The comparison found that the rate of glacial retreat in Greenland during the 21st century has been twice as fast as the retreat in the 20th century. Thousands of Greenland’s glaciers are ...

Glacier retreat primarily refers to the retreat of glaciers since 1850. It may also refer to: Glacial retreat, a type of glacial motion; Deglaciation, the widespread retreat of glaciers at the end of an ice age; Holocene glacial retreat, a period of deglaciation occurring between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago
