WGMS — historical glacier-series availability index | Publicly Available Data Resources for the 2026 Nepal Glacier-Related Hazard Cascade

Resource details

Summary: Global index of available glacier length/thickness/mass-balance series; the retrieved table includes Yala in Langtang Valley.
Review findings: The index is not the underlying glacier measurements. Title says up to2005, while some table entries extend later; retain title and row dates separately. Original-series retrieval remains a WGMS follow-up. Automated appraisal; no independent human screening or manuscript inclusion assigned. Asset assessment REV-20260908-ASSETS-002 completed 6 newly added or rediscovered asset records; 0 retain explicit follow-up. Titles, technical fields, source versions and interpretation limits are recorded in the asset-review export. Resource eligibility and manuscript inclusion remain separate.
