John Muir wrote about one of his 1880 adventures in Alaska, when he and the camp dog, Stickeen, went on a lengthy hike up a valley glacier [6]. On the return trip their way was barred by crevasses, and John had to walk a considerable distance until he discovered a precarious, narrow...
253 square miles of ice (an area nearly the size of Puerto Rico). However, this loss has not occurred uniformly; most has occurred at the mid- to lowest elevations and where glaciers reach the sea. The loss has been greatest in the mountainous coastal Alaska regions, such as Southeast Ala...
Viewing Glaciers in Juneau sít’- Glacier Got ice? We do! Juneau's most popular attraction (and the most easily accessible Alaska glacier) is the mighty, magnificentMendenhall Glacier, located just 13 miles fromdowntownJuneau and only a few minutes from the airport. ...
one of the largest glaciers on the Juneau Icefield. After 1750, most glaciers in Alaska started thinning and retreating. But by the 1890s, the Taku was moving forward again, even while other glaciers around it continued to shrink and retreat. “How can the advance of the Taku be...
To explore this further, we present a new statewide map of LGM alpine glacier equilibrium line altitudes (ELAs), LGM Δ ELAs (LGM ELA anomalies relative to the Little Ice Age, LIA), and Δ ELA-based estimates of temperature depressions across Alaska to assess paleoclimate conditions...
Glaciers in High Mountain Asia generate meltwater that supports the water needs of 250 million people, but current knowledge of annual accumulation and ablation is limited to sparse field measurements biased in location and glacier size. Here, we present
Burroughs Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska has been retreating since 1892 when it was part of the Muir Glacier complex. The glacier is named for naturalist John Burroughs, who accompanied John Muir to the areain 1899 on the Harriman Expedition. The glacier is unusual in that it ...

With 20% of the global new-water sea level rise coming from Alaska, partitioning of mass loss sources in Alaska is needed to improve sea level rise projections. Here we present the first regionally comprehensive map of glacier flow velocities in Central Alaska. These data reveal that the ...
(2022) uses the Siamese network approach for delivering velocity maps of two glaciers in Alaska and the Himalayas. The authors used high-resolution SAR imagery and S-1 data to provide a velocity field in these two cases. The authors highlighted the problem of SAR data quality and resolution ...
