Abstract
This is an updated and revised inventory of rock glaciers in the contiguous US, west of the 100th meridian based on, Trcka, Allison Reese, "Inventory of Rock Glaciers in the American West and Their Topography and Climate" (2020). Dissertations and Theses. Paper 5637. https://doi.org/10.15760/etd.7509.
In addition to rock glaciers we include, “features of interest”, landforms that appear to be ice-rich.

Description
The data supports the article, " Geography of Rock Glaciers in the American West" and includes the shape files of all the rock glaciers and features of interest, attribute data of topographic characteristics, and climate characteristics over each land-form of mean seasonal air temperature and precipitation, and mean annual air temperature, precipitation, and clear sky solar radiation.
The supplementary data sets in this file contain geospatial data and attribute tables ESRI format and in open source GeoJSON format.
Tabular data are in EXCEL tables (.csv).
