Mass balance results from the Cordillera Glacier-Climate Observing Network, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, and Alberta, for 2015 and 2016 balance years / M. Ednie and M.N. Demuth.: M183-2/8503E-PDF
"Geological Survey of Canada Open File 8503 presents mass balance data from glaciers in the Cordillera Glacier-Climate Observing network for the 2015 and 2016 balance years. Glacier-wide net annual balances at all observing sites were negative for both years. Results from the surveys indicate warmer summer conditions with less winter accumulation occurred throughout western and northern Cordillera in 2015 compared to 2016. Where historical mass balance data exists, annual glacier-wide mass balances during both balance years were more negative than long-term averages. Historically significant melt rates were observed at Peyto Glacier where annual balance was 2nd most negative on record"--Abstract, page i.
