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 In Alaska, some 50 to 60 glaciers calve into the sea, but exhibit such diversified behavior that they have baffled glaciologists for decades For instance, some
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 Granted, Alaska still has plenty of glaciers left, but the tidewater glaciers--those that empty directly into the sea--are on a drastic decline
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
Alaska glaciers help drive rise in sea level - Geophysical Institute 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
The Unknown Legacy of Alaskas Atomic Tests | Geophysical Institute 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
Ranking Rivers | Geophysical Institute 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 ) Two Yukon tributaries also make the list The Porcupine ranks 20th in drainage area, and the Tanana is number 16 for average discharge
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
The El Nino of the North and Salmon | Geophysical Institute The salmon disparity occurred again in 1972, then most recently in 1994, when Alaska fisherman broke a record for salmon harvest while Washington and Oregon managers were forced to close the chinook fishery on the Columbia because so few fish were returning
