Using reanalysis data to characterize Arctic and Sub-Arctic glaciers

Creator:

Ourada, Quin

Abstract:

The net mass balance fluctuations of Arctic and Sub-Arctic glaciers, north of 47.5° North latitude, are described over a 45-year period from 1957 to 2002 using two parameters derived from a gridded climatology reanalysis. Variability among 185 measured glaciers was represented according to two main components. The first component represents...

Changes in mass of Collier Glacier, Oregon, 1910-1994

Creator:

McDonald, Gregory D. (Gregory Douglas), 1962-

Abstract:

A change to a warmer, drier climate beginning as early as 1900 was responsible for triggering a dramatic, rapid retreat of Collier Glacier, Oregon, between 1924 and 1940. Although there was a dramatic decrease in precipitation contemporaneous with this observed "step-function" response of mass loss, it is unclear if climate...

Modeling and dating glacier fluctuations and their relation to Pacific Ocean climate

Creator:

Anslow, Faron S.

Abstract:

This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the interactions between the present-day South Cascade Glacier and the former Mauna Kea ice cap at short (annual to centennial) and long (millennial and multimillennial) time scales. To quantify the response of South Cascade Glacier to atmospheric conditions, a surface energy...

A method for remotely monitoring glaciers with regional application to the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Medley, Brooke

Abstract:

An integrative method for monitoring glacier geometry change and mass balance is presented and applied to the Pacific Northwest, USA. Acting as a baseline for interpretation of future changes in glacier size and shape, we first derive a new inventory of regional glacier cover using remotely sensed data. To investigate...
