Book Gulkana Glacier  Alaska Mass Balance  Meteorology  and Water Measurements  1997 2001

Download or read book Gulkana Glacier Alaska Mass Balance Meteorology and Water Measurements 1997 2001 written by U.S. Department of the Interior and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measured winter snow, maximum winter snow, net, and annual balances for 1997–2001 in the Gulkana Glacier basin are determined at specific points and over the entire glacier area using the meteorological, hydrological, and glaciological data. We provide descriptions of glacier geometry to aid in estimation of conventional and reference surface mass balances and descriptions of ice motion to aid in the understanding of the glacier's response to its changing geometry. These data provide annual estimates for area altitude distribution, equilibrium line altitude, and accumulation area ratio during the study interval. New determinations of historical area altitude distributions are given for 1900 and annually from 1966 to 2001. As original weather instrumentation is nearing the end of its deployment lifespan, we provide new estimates of overlap comparisons and precipitation catch efficiency.

Book The Bottom Topography of Gulkana Glacier  Alaska Range  Alaska

Download or read book The Bottom Topography of Gulkana Glacier Alaska Range Alaska written by N. A. OSTENSO and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an extension of an intensive study of Gulkana Glacier a 42 station gravimeter survey was made to gain some insight into its third dimension. This survey showed that the glacier's main tongue occupies a complex valley composed essentially of two parallel channels separated by a medial ridge which extends southward from rock bastions in the accumulation zone. At midglacier the ice thickness in the larger eastern channel is 225 m., in contrast to 130 m. in the western channel. The medial ridge degenerates down-glacier probably disappearing within 2 km. of the glacier terminus. The basic surface flow pattern of the glacier described by Moores can be adequately explained by this basal topography. Seasonal velocity variations are possibly caused by melt-water basal lubrication with one channel being favored over the other at different times of the year, in agreement with observations by Elliston on the Gorner-Gletscher, Switzerland, and with the glacier sliding theory of Weertman.

Download or read book Sculpted by Ice written by Michael Collier and published by Alaska Natural History Association. This book was released on 2004 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ice once covered most of North America. Today, Alaska, with its approximately 100,000 glaciers, is a living example of its profound influence - the state's rugged landscape is a textbook of glacial activity, and geologist and photographer Michael Collier guides you through its pages. In the company of scientists studying this ancient ice, he approaches the great sleeping beasts on foot (crampons snugly strapped on), from a kayak (rocking gently in an icefall's wake), and from the air (through the window of a small plane). Follow him across the tricky terrain of glacial terms and geologic time - it's a journey well worth taking.
