Dear CRYOLIST-subscriber,
The World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) has opened the call-for-data
for the observation period 2013/14. We are compiling standardized data on
glacier front variations, glaciological mass balance (at point and
glacier-wide level) as well as glacier changes in area, thickness, and
volume from geodetic surveys. Furthermore, we are interested in special
events such as related to glacier surges, avalanches, or lake outburst
floods.
If you carried out any type of these measurements during the hydrological
period 2013/14 or if you have data series from earlier years, you are
kindly invited to submit your data via our national correspondents who
organize the data compilation in their region/country.
For more information, data submission guidelines and forms please check
our website:
http://wgms.ch/data_submission
And the list of National Correspondents:
http://wgms.ch/contact_ncs
Data submission deadline is the 1st of December, 2015.
The compiled glacier fluctuation data (together with reference to
principal investigators, sponsoring agencies, and related literature) will
be published in our online and print products.
If you have any questions concerning the data submission, please do not
hesitate to contact us!
Sincerely yours,
Michael Zemp, on behalf of the WGMS team
P.S.1 For the submission of glacier inventory data (i.e., distribution of
perennial surface ice at a certain point in time) please check the website
of the GLIMS initiative (www.glims.org) and contact Bruce Raup.
P.S.2 For the submission of glacier photo collections and repeat
photographs please check the NSIDC Glacier Photograph Collection
(http://nsidc.org/data/glacier_photo/) and contact Florence Fetterer.
