JasonG Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 FYI . . . Should this be a sticky?? PHOTOS SOUGHT FOR GLACIER RESEARCH Researchers at Portland State University are seeking photographs of alpine glaciers in the Lower 48, particularly historic or current photos that show the terminus (snout) of the glacier with the surrounding landscape in late summer. Andrew Fountain of the university's Department of Geology, writes, "We intend to compare photos of the same glacier, but taken over different times, to infer the magnitude of glacier advance or retreat. This is part of a project to assess glacier change over the past 100+ years. We will make the data derived from the photos available to all using our web site: www.glaciers.us." For more information or to make arrangements to deliver photos, contact Fountain at Andrew@pdx.edu . Portland State is cooperating with another fascinating collection of historical glacier photographs at the National Snow and Ice Data Center/World Data Center for Glaciology. These photographs are primarily of Alaskan glaciers but also include the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains, and Europe. Many of the photographs in this remarkable collection have been digitized and can be viewed online. Go to http://nsidc.org/data/glacier_photo/photo_query.html to check out your favorite glacier.
