For example, the RGI has been used to compute regional and global glacier area (Gardner et al., 2013) and glacier volume (Huss and Farinotti, 2012 Marzeion et al., 2012 Grinsted, 2013 Radić et al., 2013) as well as thickness distributions (Huss and Farinotti, 2012) and area-altitude distributions (e.g. The RGI has proven highly valuable and has been used extensively since its first release in 2012. Priority was given to complete coverage, if necessary at reduced quality, rather than to extensive attributes or documentary detail. The RGI was created with limited resources by an ad-hoc group of scientists in a short period to meet the needs of the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for estimates of recent and future glacier mass balance. The Randolph Glacier Inventory ( RGI, Pfeffer et al., 2014) is a globally complete collection of digital outlines of glaciers, excluding the ice sheets.
