| Description |
The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a global inventory of glacier outlines including a set of attributes and other relevant auxiliary information.
The RGI has been developed in an international community-driven effort of glaciologists starting in 2010. In 2014 development of the RGI became the responsibility of the Working Group on the Randolph Glacier Inventory and Infrastructure for Glacier Monitoring, which operated under the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS). In 2019, a new Working Group was established to build upon the previous achievements and further expand its objectives: the IACS Working Group on the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) and its role in future glacier monitoring and GLIMS. There are 109 members of the RGI 7.0 Consortium see http://www.glims.org/rgi_user_guide/01_introduction.html. |
