  • Patent number: 10228489
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for detecting glacier melting based on tracer technology. The method includes the following steps. 1. Different tracer agents with equal concentration are respectively added into a plurality of water samples. The water sample and the tracer agents are mixed well. Meanwhile, the volume and the mass of each glacier model are recorded. A plurality of water samples added with tracer agents are frozen layer by layer from inside to outside to establish a plurality of glacier models. 2. The surrounding environmental factors of the glacier model are adjusted. Water samples of the glacier models melted under different environmental factor conditions are collected. Furthermore, the concentrations of different kinds of tracer agents in the water samples are measured.
