The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and its surrounding areas are the most important enrichment areas of glacier resources in the world except for the South and Arctic regions.Glacier changes in this area have important effects on sea level rise and runoff regulation in downstream areas.Based on the bibliometric analysis method,this paper visualized the number of papers,literature types and sources,authors and publishing institutions,and keyword co-occurrence in the research field of glacier change on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau,summarized the research content in relevant fields in China,and revealed research hotspots,cooperative relationships,and research trends.The results showed that the total number of articles published in the field of glacier change on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau showed a fluctuating upward trend from 2000 to 2023,with high reference value of published journals.The research hotspots focused on remote sensing monitoring of glaciers,glacier mass balance and climate response.The visualization analysis provides a macro perspective and comprehensive comment analysis for the study of glacier change on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau,and provides experience reference for the future development of glacier change research.
