The World Glacier Monitoring Service has opened its annual call for data. Contribute now!
The World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) compiles glaciological mass balances (point and glacier-wide), glacier front variations, and glacier changes in area, elevation, and volume from geodetic surveys. It is also interested in special events such as glacier surges, avalanches, or lake outburst floods.
If you carried out any such measurements, you are kindly invited to submit your data to WGMS via its National Correspondents. For further information, please see here.
The data submission deadline is 1 December 2024.
The compiled glacier fluctuations data (together with reference to principal investigators, sponsoring agencies, and literature references) will be published in our open and free data products.
Glacier outlines should be submitted to GLIMS, and glacier photos to the NSIDC Glacier Photograph Collection.
