USGS Benchmark Glaciers Glacier-Wide Annual Mass Balance: 2025 Results
Detailed Description
USGS Benchmark Glaciers glacier-wide annual mass balance (m w.e.; left axis), with positive years shown in blue and negative years in red. Text provides the years glacier-wide annual mass balance, its rank (highest to lowest), and percentile (percentage of years with annual mass balance was more negative). Black line shows cumulative annual mass balance (m w.e.; right axis). Data available here: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7HD7SRF.

Glaciers and Landscape Change
Mountain glaciers are dynamic reservoirs of frozen water, deeply interconnected with their surrounding ecosystems. Glacier change in North America has major societal impacts, including to water resources, natural hazard risk, tourism disruption, fisheries, and global sea level change. Understanding and quantifying precise connections between changing glaciers, the surrounding landscape and climate...
