Its purposes are 1) to achieve some level of standardization in the definitions of the terms that are used, and 2) provide a reference from which the meanings of any terms, especially the lesser-used ones, can be found..."

Objective The objective of the Working Group is to facilitate research on the dynamics and mass budget of Arctic glaciers. The Working Group wants to make a significant contribution to assessments on the impact of climate change in the Arctic region. The focus is on the effect of glaciers on sea-level change and on the fresh water input into fjords and embayments. In some parts of the Arctic (e.g. Iceland), rapidly changing glaciers may affect shipping and infrastructure. The Working Group aims to study such glaciers and to increase our understanding of the mechanisms behind rapid change. The Working Group also wants to stimulate collaboration between glaciologists and climate modellers. The terms of reference for the IASC Working Group on Arctic Glaciology can be found HERE About the working group Background and history Land ice masses in the northern circumpolar region cover more than 2 075 000 square kilometres and therefore form an important element in the Arctic environment. Glaciers in the Arctic have generally experienced a negative mass balance during the last century, and there is a concern that future greenhouse warming may lead to an acceleration of ice wastage. It is against this background that the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) established a Working Group on Arctic Glaciology in 1992. The first project coordinated by the Working Group was entitled MAGICS: Mass balance of Arctic Glaciers and Ice sheets in relation to the Climate and Sea level changes. As part of MAGICS two significant contributions were made: (1) A compilation of existing in situ mass-balance observations on Arctic glaciers (see

COAL GLACIOLOGICAL STUDIES Glaciology Division was established in 1974 and had initiated modern methods in the glaciological studies which included study of glacier regimen, mass balance, hydrometry etc. glacial and periglacial geomorphology, snow cover studies and inventory of glaciers in the individual basins. Secular movement of the glaciers gives an insight into the past climate and the prevailing climate of a region. The officers of the GSI are studying the Himalayan glaciers since eighteen century over the length and breadth of the Himalaya extending from Siachin in northwest to Changme Khangpu in the east. At present, baseline data is being generated for individual basins for future reference and systematic programme of monitoring the glacier front has been implemented. During 2006 glaciers of Bhaga basin have been monitored. The snow chemistry of a few glaciers and of selected basins was also studied to assess the environs of the snow-cover and their effects on the adjoining areas.
