G00472 NSIDC, (comp.). 20020101 Glacier Photograph Collection Boulder, Colorado USA NSIDC: National Snow and Ice Data Center http://nsidc.org/data/g00472.html http://dx.doi.org/10.7265/N5/NSIDC-GPC-2009-12 The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado 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 digitize selected photographs and make them available through a searchable interface. To date, more than 12,000 photographs have been digitized and comprise the Glacier Photograph Collection. Most of the photographs are of glaciers in the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Greenland. However, the collection does include a smaller number of photos of glaciers in Europe and South America. In March 2006, we began our special collection of Repeat Photography of Glaciers. Updates to the Glacier Photograph Collection are ongoing, and the photos are available online via a searchable interface. scientific research NSIDC, (comp.). 20020101 Glacier Photograph Collection Boulder, Colorado USA NSIDC: National Snow and Ice Data Center http://nsidc.org/data/docs/noaa/g00472_glacier_photos/index.html 18800101 20091231 publication date In work Unknown -180 180 81 -43 NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Cryosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Glaciers EARTH SCIENCE > Spectral/Engineering > Visible Wavelengths > Visible Imagery EARTH SCIENCE > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Glaciers None NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Instrument Keywords CAMERAS NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Platform Keywords AIRCRAFT GROUND-BASED OBSERVATIONS ISO 19115 Topic Categories climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere geoscientificinformation imageryBaseMapsEarthCover None Aerial Photography Climate Change Glacier Fluctuation IDN_NODE GSFC/NSIDC Photos NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords Continent > Australia/new Zealand > New Zealand Continent > Europe > Alps Continent > North America Continent > North America > Canada > Western Canada Continent > North America > Greenland Continent > North America > United States Of America > Alaska, Pacific Northwest Continent > South America > Andes 3 NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Cryosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Glaciers NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Spectral/Engineering > Visible Wavelengths > Visible Imagery NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Glaciers None None NSIDC User Services National Snow and Ice Data Center mailing
