Abstract
This is an updated inventory of glaciers and perennial snowfields of the contiguous United States. All perennial snow and ice features greater than 0.01 km2 are included. Outlines are mostly derived from aerial imagery provided by the National Agricultural Imagery Program, US Department of Agriculture with some satellite imagery in places where aerial imagery was not suitable. Imagery dates range from 2013 to 2020. Most (70%) of the outlines were acquired from 2015 imagery.
