Hello all, Happy New Year! We at NSIDC and the GLIMS Core Team wish you all the best for 2017. There were several big accomplishments in GLIMS during 2016. Perhaps the most important is, with the ingest of many new data sets, that GLIMS is now globally complete. In addition, 87000 glaciers have outlines from more than one time. Thanks to NASA, GLIMS funding is sufficient to take in more glacier data as it is produced by our collaborators, and to make improvements in technical infrastructure. In 2017 we intend to continue with these activities, as well as increase our capability to ingest and provide more topographic data related to the glaciers of the world.
