prevention and mitigation measures. Based on Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)\/Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+)\/Operational Land Imager (OLI) imagery, the outlines and length of glaciers in the West Kunlun Main Peak Area (WKMPA) during 2000\u20132020 were obtained by combining a band ratio method with manual interpretation and an automatic extraction method for the glacier centerline, respectively. There were 440 glaciers in the WKMPA in 2020, covering an area of 2964.59 \u00b1 54.87 km2, with an average length of 2916 \u00b1 60 m. The glacier count increased due to division, while the area and length all exhibited a declining trend from 2000 to 2020, at rates of \u22120.04%\u00b7a\u22121 (24.83 km2) and \u22120.11%\u00b7a\u22121 (66 m), respectively. Glacier retreat was primarily observed during the early period (2000\u20132005). Except for glaciers located above an elevation of 6250 m, the glacier area decreased with each altitude interval from 2000 to 2020, and the rate of relative change in glacier area generally decreased with increasing altitude. Moreover, except for a slight increase in north-facing glaciers, the area of glaciers facing other orientations decreased during 2000\u20132020. The accuracy of the empirical formula fit for glacier length was highly dependent on glacier class, with greater precision observed for smaller glaciers and lower precision for larger valley-basin glaciers due to their complex morphological structures being neglected and only a single quantitative relationship being considered. There was a time lag of 12 years between temperature changes and glacier area response in this region. The mechanism by which glacier division affects glacier change is complex, requiring dissection of multiple factors such as area, length, and terminal elevation before and after division.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15174236","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]],"date-time":"2023-08-29T08:51:14Z","timestamp":1693299074000},"page":"4236","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Glacier Change in the West Kunlun Main Peak Area from 2000 to 2020"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1879-3796","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Environment Sciences, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3127-9473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaojun","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Environment Sciences, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suju","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Disaster Reduction Center, Ministry of Emergency Management, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Longfei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Disaster Reduction Center, Ministry of Emergency Management, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Te","family":"Sha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Environment Sciences, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Environment Sciences, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"IPCC (2023).
