(1) Northern boundary of region 2 (Western Canada and USA) is moved south to exclude Melville Island glacier subregion 02-01 (shrinking the region) These glacier regions are implemented in RGI 6.0 (RGI Consortium, 2017) and in the Global Glacier Change Bulletin (WGMS 2017).Дetails of how the GTN-G glacier regions differs from RGI 5.0 (Arendt et al. This GTN-G Glacier Regions dataset is a joint set of regions recommended by the Global Terrestrial Network for Glaciers (GTN-G) Advisory Board, the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space initiative (GLIMS), the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) Working Group of the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), and the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS). Both of these datasets derive ultimately from glacier regions defined by the GLIMS project around the year 2000 and from RadiД‡ and Hock (2010).

#DEFINE GLIMS UPDATE#

It is an update of the RGI dataset 5.0 (Arendt et al., 2015) with some small modifications from the WGMS (2016) glacier regions. This dataset defines 19 first-order glacier regions and more than 90 second-order regions encompassing all of earthвЂ™s glaciers and ice caps.
