The Columbia Glacier - Geophysical Institute The Columbia Glacier is one of Alaska's better known tidewater glaciers, both from the standpoint of tourist attraction and the model it provides for scientific investigation In 1973 it became the object of close scientific scrutiny
Columbia Glacier Retreating - Geophysical Institute Columbia Glacier, located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Valdez near the epicenter of the great 1964 earthquake, is rapidly losing its battle for survival It is the last of Alaska's 52 tidewater glaciers to begin its epic retreat from the sea
Alaska glaciers help drive rise in sea level Many glaciers smaller than about five square kilometers — like those in the European Alps, New Zealand, Scandinavia and Glacier National Park in Montana — will disappear by the end of this century, said Radic, a researcher at the University of British Columbia and former graduate student at the Geophysical Institute
Alaska Glaciers Show Dramatic Melting | Geophysical Institute Columbia Glacier in Prince William Sound and Bering Glacier in the St Elias Mountains are two glaciers losing ice at an alarming rate: during the past decade, Columbia has shrunk by an average of about 21 feet per year along the length of the glacier; Bering has lost more than 9 feet per year
Ranking Rivers - Geophysical Institute In both average discharge at mouth (225,000 cubic feet of water a second) and drainage area (328,000 square miles), the Yukon River ranks fifth nationally For comparison, that's right ahead of the Columbia in area drained and right after it in discharge (The Columbia River also needs Canada to gain its rank; its source is in British Columbia )
The Unknown Legacy of Alaskas Atomic Tests The big daddy came in 1971 Project Cannikin was a 5-megaton explosion that inspired the formation of the group Greenpeace, a group of environmentalists from British Columbia who joined together to oppose the test But Greenpeace and many others-including Alaska senator Mike Gravel and Congressman Nick Begich-were not able to prevent Cannikin
Melting Alaska makes the front page | Geophysical Institute SAN FRANCISCO—People picked up their newspapers on thousands of doorsteps of this city today and saw two pictures of Glacier Bay on the front page, under the headline, “Alaska’s re
Exporting Water - Geophysical Institute What would be involved in exporting 10 million acre-feet of water each year, an amount comparable to the flow of a major western river? Suppose that there were a means to collect a part of the rainfall from a portion of southeast Alaska or British Columbia the size of the Queen Charlotte Islands, about 4,000 square miles
The Alaska-Siberia Telegraph | Geophysical Institute Collins envisioned an intercontinental telegraph link from California, north through British Columbia, across Russian America to Siberia, via the Bering Strait, and across Siberia to Europe Realizing the critical need for intercontinental communications-- and knowing of the repeated failures of Cyrus Field's attempts to lay the Atlantic cable
