Icefield Data
The Juneau Icefield Research Program stewards several ongoing data collection efforts.
These datasets are for public use. Please cite them accordingly. Maintaining each of these datasets requires extensive pre-season planning, long (and often uncomfortable) days in the field, and hours of data analysis. At JIRP, much of this work is done on a volunteer basis. If you’d like to donate to support these efforts, please see our Support page.
