Use the interactive tool above to learn how climate affects glacial mass balance on glaciers. The animation contains two primary sections. Shifting Seasons explains how yearly snowfall patterns determine whether or not a glacier grows or shrinks in size. A Climate Indicator allows users to adjust temperatures to visualize how a glacier responds to long-term climate shifts.
