ABOUT THIS RECORD
Glaciers are well established indicators of climate change. Changes in their elevation and mass affect sea level, regional water cycles and local hazards.
This record brings together glacier elevation and mass series, including location, geographic coordinates and linked time information. The source material spans different survey periods, so annual comparison requires careful alignment by date.
Arche Zero keeps the source, time coverage, licence and delivery details with the record so teams can judge whether it is suitable for research, risk analysis or model development.
