Damma Glacier, Alpine glacier in Uri, Switzerland.
The Damma Glacier extends between 1950 and 2050 meters above sea level, featuring granitic rocks and a forefield measuring 10.7 square kilometers.
Since measurements started in 1921, the northeast-exposed glacier front has diminished at approximately 10 meters annually, leading to a dead-ice separation in 2003.
The glacier serves as a research location for scientists studying weathering bacteria, soil formation processes, and environmental transformations in alpine environments.
Field equipment at the site includes meteorological instruments, water monitoring stations, and groundwater tubes for measuring river exchanges during the summer period.
The glacier forefield contains different soil types, from Dystric Hyperskeletic Leptosols near the ice to Haplic Cambisols in older sections.
