It is only aimed at the glacier surface elevation change in MUZTAG area from 1976 to 2014, so it is not necessary to supplement and improve, and fully open sharing is adopted. The dataset consists of elevationchange 1976-2000 and elevationchange 2000-2014, with a total of two bands, and the field measurement unit is meter (m). The data set is mainly extracted from remote sensing images, which only represents the glacier surface elevation change at the time of remote sensing image acquisition, and the time is 1976-2000 and 2000-2014.
