Glacier Image Database


Structure of Database: The glacier system can be divided into six topics: Erosion, Subglacial, Superglacial, Ice-margin, Glacial lakes, and Proglacial. Within each topic, individual examples are organized into Process (orange; showing the process at work), Deposit/Feature (yellow; examples of the resulting deposit or feature), and Landform (green; examples of resulting landforms).
