Annual Report on Vital Signs Monitoring of Glaciers in the Central Alaska Network, 2010

During 2010, three main program goals were accomplished: (1) a draft revised monitoring protocol with several additions and changes to the monitoring protocol was completed, (2) longterm monitoring continued for the 20th consecutive year, and (3) cooperative agreements established with University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) and Alaska Pacific University (APU) to develop a glacier inventory for Alaska, focusing on a glacier extent and volume change products over the next 3 years (see separate Research Permit Reporting System (RPRS) report).
