Chaujar, R.K. 2009. Climate change and its impact on the Himalayan glaciers - a case study on the Chorabari glacier, Garhwal Himalaya, India. Current Science 96: 703-708.
What was done
"Based on the dating of lichens, developed on loops of moraines formed due to various stages of advance and retreat of the [Chorabari] glacier," the author pinpoints the time at which the warming that led to the demise of the Little Ice Age -- and, ultimately, the ushering in of the Current Warm Period -- began in the Kedarnath temple area of the Garhwal Himalayas, after which he briefly reviews the similar findings of others at a variety of places around the globe.
