At this stage it is envisaged that a sufficient data base has been collected to allow many of the questions posed at the outset of this programme to be answered. Time is now required to analyse the data and to identify areas in which further work is required.
In one or two seasons time it is hoped to return to the Miers and to re-photograph and re-measure the glaciers so that the changes discussed above can be quantified. The changes are expected to be relatively small and therefore measurements are not required every year. These measurements should allow a good indication of the changes in the mass balance of the valley.
