The graphics below depict the mass balance over the period of record for each glacier. The Alaskan and Washington datasets constitute the longest continuous set of mass balance data in North America (O\u2019Neel and others, 2019). With the inclusion of Sperry Glacier in 2013, these five research sites were unified into a single project with common field and analysis methodologies to enable comparison among the glaciers. This project aims to advance the quantitative understanding of glacier-climate interactions from local to regional scales. The current focus is on merging the long-term field records with newer, richer remote sensing data."
