GCOS Essential Climate Variables (ECV)
Terrestial/ECV T-6 - Glacier and Ice Caps
Changes in glaciers and ice caps provide some of the clearest evidence of climate change, constitute key variables for early-detection strategies in global climate-related observations and cause serious impacts on the terrestrial water cycle and societies dependent on glacial melt water (GCOS 2004).
