*The North Klawatti Glacier is one of numerous glaciers in the Thunder Creek Watershed.
**Meters Water Equivalent (m w.e.) - Since ice, firn and snow all have different densities, researchers estimate yearly snow accumulation not by snow depth, which would vary depending on how much air is in the snow, but rather by how deep the new accumulation would be if it were melted into water.
