org.nsidc:G00472 Allaina M. Howard 20020101 Online Glacier Photograph Database Boulder, CO U.S.A. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) http://nsidc.org/data/g00472.html The National Snow and Ice Data Center/World Data Center for Glaciology, Boulder (NSIDC/WDC) houses many photographic prints of glaciers, taken both from the air and from the ground. These photographs constitute an important historical record, as well as a data collection of interest to those studying the response of glaciers to climate change. NSIDC is partnering with the NOAA Climate Database Modernization Program (CDMP) and the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) to scan selected photographs and to make them available through a searchable interface. These photographs comprise the Online Glacier Photograph Database. More than 3,000 glacier photos are online, and most of these glaciers are in the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, and Alaska. In March, 2006, a special collection, Long-Term Change Photograph Pairs, was added. Updates to this product are ongoing. scientific research Allaina M.
