#Glims logo update#
In this WG, we strive to continuously improve and update the RGI, as well as to lay out a long-term plan for sustainable continuation of the RGI beyond the end of this WG. from the mid-1980s or earlier) to facilitate validation of glacier evolution models or transient mass balance calculations. Additionally, there is also a demand for consistent historic glacier outlines (e.g. Examples include data quality (wrong/outdated outlines, ice divides) but also the quality and availability of glacier attributes (hypsometry, glacier type…). Furthermore, the RGI (as of version 6) needs further improvements to remain useful to the wider scientific community. One of the main objectives of the WG is to automate this process as much as possible by incorporating RGI generation tools into the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space ( GLIMS) database.
#Glims logo manual#
In the past, the RGI was produced with an ad-hoc manual process, which was effective but labor-intensive. The latest RGI version (V6) was released in July 2017. After its creation in 2012, the dataset’s further development has been coordinated by an earlier IACS Working Group. It has become a pillar of glaciological research at global and regional scales, for estimates of recent and future glacier changes, glacier mass balance, and glacier contribution to sea-level rise. It was created with limited resources to meet the needs of the assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a globally complete collection of digital glacier outlines, excluding the polar ice sheets.

On the other side of the Fuorcla there is a short descent into the Val Sagliains. Between this and the Piz Glims further to the left, you can already make out the Fuorcla da Glims crossing, the highest point of the hike. Directly after the uppermost lakes, the summit of Piz Linard begins. The lakes are located in the middle of an alpine landscape and are ideal for a lunch break. The trail continues up to the Glims lakes, partly following the outflow stream of the lakes. The hut is open during the summer months. With the mighty Piz Linard, the highest peak of the Silvretta, in view, the path climbs in a pleasant gradient up to the Chamonna dal Linard. If desired, a cab can be reserved to Plan dal Bügl (see further information). The footpath crosses the forest road several times before reaching the Plan dal Bügl viewpoint. Shortly after leaving the village, a sparse forest begins. From Lavin follow the signs in the direction of Chamonna dal Linard.
