Summary
Abstract: The World Glacier Inventory (WGI) contains information for over 130,000 glaciers. Inventory parameters include geographic location, area, length, orientation, elevation, and classification. The WGI is based primarily on aerial photographs and maps with most glaciers having one data entry only. Hence, the dataset can be viewed as a snapshot of the glacier distribution in the second half of the 20th century. It is based on the original WGI (WGMS 1989) from the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS).

Quality Sediment was taken from one site within the Burt-Izard Drain (which is an open
ditch or creek crossing the ASARCO property at its northern end) and one at its
confluence with the river. Two sites were sampled just downstream of the ASARCO
property. In addition, two reference sediment samples were taken, one upstream
of the ASARCO facility, and one on the opposite bank. Originally, additional
sites along the waterfront of the facility had also been selected for sediment
sampling. High water conditions prior to the sampling date had scoured nearly
all of the sediment from this outside-bend of the river.
