This designation identifies a specific geographical feature, likely a glacier, cataloged within a broader inventory system. The alphanumeric code serves as a unique identifier, allowing for precise referencing and tracking of the feature in scientific databases, geographic information systems, and related research. For example, this identifier might be used in a report detailing glacial melt rates or changes in ice volume.
Such detailed cataloging is vital for monitoring environmental changes, particularly in the context of climate science and glacial studies. Precise identification facilitates accurate data collection and analysis over time, enabling researchers to assess the impact of environmental factors on glacial dynamics. Historical records associated with the identifier can provide valuable context for understanding long-term trends and predicting future behavior.
