USGS Benchmark Glaciers
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.
