In order to evaluate how glacial and paraglacial environments in mountains are likely to respond to future climate change, the AA. consider how these environments have responded to climate change in the past (the last glacial–interglacial transition
, and the Little Ice Age). From this, they may anticipate the likely responses of glacial and paraglacial environments in mountains to global warming over coming decades. The AA. show that future changes in glacial and paraglacial environments, in particular
of the Iberian Peninsula. The applied techniques must be adapted to the dynamic conditions of cryospheric environments. This paper analyses the techniques used and results on vertical and horizontal changes of glaciers, rock glaciers and ice patches in the Sierra
, the geomatic techniques can be used to detail scale and volume changes and perimeter of the analysed landforms.

Field observations, old terrestrial photographs and maps, aerial orthophotos and detailed geomorphological mapping were used for compiling and validating a 119-year cumulative record of terminus changes for La Mare Glacier, in the south-eastern part
been examined, analyzing multi-proxy climatic reconstructions starting in 1500 ad, but also morphodynamic processes linked to the bedrock characteristics of La Mare Glacier could have played a role in modulating its response to climatic changes.
