Here, we present a detailed analysis of the glaciation areas of the Zhetysu Alatau Range (Tien Shan) for 1956\u20132016 using well-established semiautomatic methods based on the band ratios. The total glacier area decreased by 49 \u00b1 2.8% or by 399 \u00b1 11.2 km2 from 813.6 \u00b1 22.8 km2 to 414.6 \u00b1 11.6 km2 during 1956\u20132016, while the number of glaciers increased from 985 to 813. Similar rates of area change characterized the periods 1956\u20132001, 2001\u20132012, 2012\u20132016, and 2001\u20132016: \u2212296.2 \u00b1 8.3 (\u22120.8% a\u22121), \u221263.7\u00b1 1.8 (\u22121.1% a\u22121), \u221239.1 \u00b11.1 (\u22122.2% a\u22121) and \u2212102.8 \u00b1 2.9 (\u22121.3% a\u22121) km2, respectively. The mean glacier size decreased from 0.57\u2009km2 in 2001 to 0.51\u2009km2 in 2016. Most glaciation areas of the Zhetysu Alatau faced north (north, northwest, and northeast), covered 390.35 \u00b1 11 km2, and were located in altitudes between 3000 and 4000 m.a.s.l. With shrinkage rates of about \u22120.8% and \u22121.3% a\u22121 for the periods of 1956\u20132001 and 2001\u20132016, our results show that study area has the highest shrinkage rate compared to other glacierized areas of Central Asian mountains, including Altai, Pamir, and even the inner ranges of Tien Shan. It was found that a significant increase in temperature (0.12 \u00b0C\/10 years) plays a main role in the state of glaciers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15082133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,19]],"date-time":"2023-04-19T01:09:22Z","timestamp":1681866562000},"page":"2133","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Accelerated Glacier Area Loss in the Zhetysu (Dzhungar) Alatau Range (Tien Shan) for the Period of 1956\u20132016"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Serik","family":"Nurakynov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Ionosphere, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Department of Surveying and Geodesy, Satbayev University, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"}]},{"given":"Azamat","family":"Kaldybayev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Ionosphere, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Desert and Oasis Ecology, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi 830011, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0275-2463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kanat","family":"Zulpykharov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Ionosphere, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"}]},{"given":"Nurmakhambet","family":"Sydyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Ionosphere, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9227-4695","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aibek","family":"Merekeyev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Ionosphere, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"}]},{"given":"Daniker","family":"Chepashev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Ionosphere, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1611-7775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aiman","family":"Nyssanbayeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan"}]},{"given":"Gulnura","family":"Issanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Ecology and Environment of Central Asia, Almaty 050060, Kazakhstan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1320-1835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gonghuan","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Desert and Oasis Ecology, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi 830011, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1038\/nature04141","article-title":"Potential impacts of a warming climate on water availability in snow-dominated regions","volume":"438","author":"Barnett","year":"2005","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"725","DOI":"10.1038\/nclimate1592","article-title":"Climate change impacts on glaciers and runoff in Tien Shan (Central Asia)","volume":"2","author":"Sorg","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nat.
