Welcome to theGlaciers WikiProject, acollaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage ofGlaciers.

(For more information on WikiProjects, please seeWikipedia:WikiProject and theGuide to WikiProjects).

Goals

ThisWikiProject aims to enhance information onglaciers,glaciology and related articles.

Scope

All articles about glaciers, glaciology, geologic and geographical impacts from glaciers, as well as climatological articles directly related to glaciers.

TheMalaspina Glacier is so large that it can only seen in its entirety from space; this 1994 photo fromSTS-66, on a rare clear day, is of an area about 100 km (60 mi) across.

Glacier infobox

[edit]

At right is an example of the infobox that can be used for glacier articles. Further instructions on the usage of the infobox can be found at theinfobox talk page.

Gannett Glacier (EXAMPLE)
Gannett Glacier on the north slope ofGannett Peak
Type	Mountain glacier
Location	Wyoming,U.S.
Coordinates	43°11′48″N109°39′02″W / 43.19667°N 109.65056°W /43.19667; -109.65056
Area	3.63 km² (900 acres)
Terminus	Moraine
Status	Retreating

Helpful pointers:

It is generally standard practice to have metric distances and areas in articles shown first withUnited States customary units second unless the article is about a glacier in the U.S. In scientific articles, metric is generally considered to be the standard and customary units are used only as a courtesy.
Refer to theconversion templates to ensure all articles have both metric and imperial units. Generally, metric usage is sufficient in scientific articles. However to those unfamiliar with metric measurements, the conversion templates ensure both measurements are provided. Generally, a standard conversion template will appear as{{convert|1150|m|ft|abbr=on}} in the editing window, which allows as an example, 1150 meters to be converted to feet. The "abbr" is encoded to abbreviate both meters to "m" and feet to "ft" and this parameter can be removed from the template entirely when editing an article or type off instead of on to keep the full words. When saved, the example above appears as1,150 m (3,770 ft) in the article. One can also useGoogle to make conversions by simply typing the distance or area and thento the conversion one wishes to make.
Glaciers are sometimes more difficult to locate on a map than are mountains, so a query on a certain mountain known to be close the glacier may help narrow down the search.

Wikiproject messagebox

Stub articles

[edit]

{{Glaciology-stub}} can be added to the bottom ofarticle pages related to this project. A stub is generally any article that doesn't have at least one reliable reference, two paragraphs of information and or lacks appropriate links to categories. Please add the stub template to the article page of articles which meet this criteria and as discussed at thestub guideline page.

All articles that are tagged as stubs automatically link toCategory:Glaciology stubs.

Welcome to theassessment department of WikiProject Glaciers! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Glacier articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with theWP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
