Statistics are compiled on the mass balance of six Canadian glaciers, three located in the mountains of the Western Cordillera located in British Columbia and in Alberta and three located in the High Arctic. The glacier data are derived from Natural Resources Canada's Earth Science Sector's Climate Change Geoscience Program, which supports Canada's national glacier-climate observing system. Research and monitoring of Canada's glaciers is conducted in partnership with several government departments and universities.

These six glaciers form Canada's contribution to the Global Terrestrial/Climate Observing System and World Glacier Monitoring Service.
