Glacier retreat (disambiguation)

Glacier retreat or glacial retreat is type of glacial motion discussed in several articles, depending on the time frame of interest, and whether the climatological process or individual glaciers are being considered. Articles on these topics include:

• Retreat of glaciers since 1850, a current motion trend
• Holocene glacial retreat, motion that had a profound effect on landscapes in many areas that were covered by ice at the Last Glacial Maximum
• Glacier mass balance, the difference between accumulation and ablation (sublimation and melting)
• Glacial lake outburst flood, a type of outburst flood that occurs when the dam containing a glacial lake fails
• Pinedale glaciation
