+## {Resource Watch Public Title} Dataset Pre-processing
+This file describes the data pre-processing that was done to [the Glacier Locations](http://glims.colorado.edu/glacierdata/) for [display on Resource Watch](put in the link for the new RW dataset).
+
+The source provided the dataset as two shapefiles in a zipped folder. 
+
+1. Glims Glacier Locations (points)
+2. Glims Glaceir Extent (polygons)
+
+Below, we describe the steps used to reformat the shapefiles to upload to Carto.
+
+1. Import the shapefiles as geopandas dataframes.
+2. Rename columns to match the current version of Carto table.
+
+
+Please see the [Python script](https://github.com/resource-watch/data-pre-processing/tree/master/cli_017_rw2_glacier_locations/cli_017_rw2_glacier_locations_processing.py) for more details on this processing.
+
+You can view the processed Glacier Locations dataset [on Resource Watch](link to new dataset).
+
+You can also download the original dataset [directly through Resource Watch](https://wri-public-data.s3.amazonaws.com/resourcewatch/cli_017_glacier_extent.zip), or [from the source website](http://www.glims.org/download/).
+
+###### Note: This dataset processing was done by [Jason Winik](https://www.wri.org/profile/jason-winik), and QC'd by [Yujing Wu](https://www.wri.org/profile/yujing-wu).
