Scientists seeded clouds over Chinese glacier; ice loss later fell up to 17%

Scientists tested cloud seeding over China’s Muz Taw Glacier in 2018 to create artificial snowfall and slow ice loss. The experiment used silver iodide generators to encourage snow formation. Researchers found that fresh snow made the glacier surface brighter and reduced the amount of ice lost over a short period. However, they said the results are preliminary and need further testing.
