The use of surface energy balance models as a means to quantify changes in glacier mass balance : an application to the Collier Glacier

Creator:

Beedlow, Andrew Cody

Abstract:

This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the measured and modeled mass balance of the Collier Glacier, a small (0.70 km²), valley glacier located in the Oregon Cascade Range (44° 10' N, 121° 47' W). Here we present mass-balance measurements conducted for the 2009 and 2010 balance years...

Late Pleistocene and Holocene glacier and climate change

Creator:

Marcott, Shaun Andrew

Abstract:

This dissertation presents results from three studies that address major scientific questions in glacial geology and paleoclimatology for the late Pleistocene and Holocene using relatively new geochemical and statistical techniques. Each of the studies attempts to answer a longstanding question in the respective field using geochemical or statistical methods that...

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...
