See also: - The goal of the Commission on Glaciation is to explore and develop scientific cooperation for the study of past glaciation and present glacier processes. - Provides a focus for individuals interested in the practical and scientific aspects of snow and ice. Includes information on membership, the journal, meetings and symposia. - Links to U.S. National Parks featuring alpine glaciers, glacial landforms, and Ice Age flood landforms. - Information, photos, and links on glaciers, glacial environments and glacial geomorphology. Also additional resources for users of the book "Glaciers". - US Geological Survey Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World. - World Data Center - Directory of European Glaciology - Glaciological data collected on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska. Focuses on GPS-derived surface velocity, surface elevations, and strain rates. - Long-term program to monitor climate, stream runoff, and the motion, mass balance, and geometry of glaciers at a few sites in Alaska and Washington State. Data are used to understand glacier-related hydrologic processes and improve prediction of water resources, glacier-related hazards, and the consequences of climate change. - Includes a directory of European glaciology and an ice and snow database. - Source of information on glaciers and their fluctuations worldwide. World Glacier Inventory contains data on the spatial distribution of glaciers. Fluctuations of Glaciers and Mass Balance Bulletin document changes over time (changes in mass, volume, area and length of glaciers).
