Glaciers are sensitively linked to climate, yet predicting exact glacier response to regional and local climate conditions requires research. Understanding glacier response to climate helps natural resource managers and policy makers prepare for change."

     "text": "Climatic warming since the end of the Little Ice Age has resulted in substantial glacier ice loss around the world.  Most glaciers have undergone thinning and many exhibit retreat at their margins. Glacier loss triggers a cascade of hydrological and ecological effects that impact plants, animals and can create human hazard and economic hardship.  USGS scientists are using a variety of methods and technologies to track glacier change in glacierized regions in North America. By understanding the link between climate and glacier loss scientists aim to enhance preparedness as increasing temperatures influence mountain ecosystems worldwide."
