Table 1. Measurement period and characteristics of the glaciers in the glacier variation data set. If the locations of the termini have
been inferred from maps, aerial photographs or other indirect sources before the initiation of regular monitoring, then the first year
of such information is given in the measurement period column separated from the measurement period itself by a comma.
