A glacier condition and thresholding rubric for use in assessing protected area / ecosystem functioning / M.N. Demuth and M. Ednie.M183-2/8031E-PDF

"Geological Survey of Canada Open File 8031: i) reviews the methods by which glacier mass balance and related metrics can be measured; including the theoretical and practical basis for placing contemporary glacier mass balance measurements in a longer term context; and ii) proposes a rubric and methodology by which a glacier condition may be determined on an annual basis for a single site or multiple sites within a region. The rubric is based on a commonly reported mass balance metric, the Accumulation Area Ratio (AAR) – the ratio of a glacier’s accumulation area to its total area"--Summary, page i.
