Research is being conducted
Many scientists are conducting further research that are opening up under Austria's melting glaciers. The goal is to research why the glaciers are melting faster than anticipated and to understand the fate that befalls glaciers everywhere else if climate change continues.

Declining glaciers and how to manage it
The caverns underneath the glaciers give the researchers information on how the ice which had built over millennia collapsed so fast. This information can help communities that depend on glaciers in other parts of the world to better manage their decline.
