Glacier mass loss is accelerating throughout Yukon. This mass loss is confirmed by multiple studies and methods. New remotely-sensed and field-measured terminus retreat rates for select glaciers representative of the glaciated watersheds throughout Yukon are presented and compared to previous studies. Photographic data and measurements from field monitoring stations occupied from 2004 to 2022 confirm rapid mass-loss and provide relatable images for communicating the striking rate of glacier retreat. The rapid rate of glacier mass loss in Yukon will have variable impacts on downstream hydrology including discharge, temperature, chemistry, sedimentation and turbidity that are, with some exceptions, poorly quantified at present.
