# Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) 7.0 glacier ID (`rgi_glacier_id`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Identifier of a glacier or glacier complex in version 7.0 of the Randolph Glacier Inventory, a global set of glacier outlines taken from GLIMS for the target year 2000. It joins the target year, the version, the product (G glacier, C glacier complex), the two-digit first-order region and a sequence number counted from the westernmost outline of the region, as in RGI2000-v7.0-G-02-00003. The ids differ from those of RGI 6.0 and may change in later versions, so keep the version with the id.
