All About Glaciers Links to glacier research and projects, glacier facts, questions and answers, a glossary, gallery, bibliography and links to glacier information on the Web.
Centre for Glaciology, University of Wales, Aberystwyth Research focus is on glaciology and glacial geology. Staff expertise and research areas include relation between glaciers and climate and interactions between glaciers and the marine environment.
Glacier General introduction to glaciers, the Antarctic, and related topics in weather, climate, oceans, and geology, from Rice University (Texas).
Glacier General introduction to the realm of Antarctica by Rice University of Houston, Texas, and the NSF.
Glacier General introduction to glaciers, the Antarctic, and related topics in weather, climate, oceans, and geology, from Rice University.
Glacier A collaboration between Rice and the NSF intended to introduce students to the Antarctic and the brave souls who are investigating that vast, frozen continent. The program has focused on development of a web site designed for the general public, and development of a hands-on, inquiry based, thematic curriculum that integrates into the traditional middle school earth, ocean and space science curriculum.
Glacier Image Database A collection of photographs illustrating glaciation and its effects upon the earth's surface.
Glaciers Shockwave video demonstrates different types of glaciers, how they form and flow.
Glaciology at the University of Copenhagen Climate research through ice core drillings (including logistics and instrumental development), analysis of chemical and physical parameters and modelling. Other topics: Studies of ice rheology and studies of extraterrestrial ice.
Glaciology, Alfred Wegener Institute Topics include introduction to glaciology; studies of ice sheet volume and glacier mass balance of glaciers by means of modelling, geophysical reconnaissance and field studies; and reconstruction of climate history from ice core analysis.
Ice Core Drilling in Greenland Ice Cap Website of the Glaciology Group at the University of Copenhagen includes information on long-term studies in Greenland.
INQUA Commission on Glaciation The goal of the Commission on Glaciation is to explore and develop scientific cooperation for the study of past glaciation and present glacier processes.

Park Geology Tour - Glaciers Links to U.S. National Parks featuring alpine glaciers, glacial landforms, and Ice Age flood landforms.
Peter Knight's Glaciers Information, photos, and links on glaciers, glacial environments and glacial geomorphology. Also additional resources for users of the book "Glaciers".
Sang De Brabander's Homepage Describes glaciological research of Antarctic ice sheets and ice streams by numerical modelling: focus on basal processes, including subglacial hydrology and till deformation. Also: field expeditions to Central Asian glaciers.
Stockholm University Glaciology Describes research activities, the Tarfala Research Station, and glaciers the group has studied; lists group members; and provides photos, data, and publications.
The Crevasse Zone Glaciological data collected on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska. Focuses on GPS-derived surface velocity, surface elevations, and strain rates.
USGS Benchmark Glaciers Long-term program to monitor climate, stream runoff, and the motion, mass balance, and geometry of glaciers at a few sites in Alaska and Washington State. Data are used to understand glacier-related hydrologic processes and improve prediction of water resources, glacier-related hazards, and the consequences of climate change.
World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) Source of information on glaciers and their fluctuations worldwide. World Glacier Inventory contains data on the spatial distribution of glaciers. Fluctuations of Glaciers and Mass Balance Bulletin document changes over time (changes in mass, volume, area and length of glaciers).
