Below is a list of the 300 individual glacier posts examining our warming climates impact on each glacier, this represents the first 4 years of posts. I have worked directly on 52 of the glaciers noted. The others are prompted by fine research that I had come across, cited in each post or inquiries from readers, or just glaciers that nobody has focused upon. I then look for satellite imagery spanning a period of time to identify change. Most of the imagery comes from Landsat, thanks to its long term archive of free images. Some imagery is from MODIS, Geoeye or Google Earth. There is a consistent signal from the glaciers, mass balance loss, thinning and retreat. In many cases this leads to new lake formation or lake expansion for alpine glaciers. For the next three weeks there will be no new posts as I will be in the field.

North Cascade Glacier Climate Project 2013 Field Season, 30th Annual

This will be the 30th consecutive year heading into the field to assess North Cascade glaciers. Over the next three weeks we will be measuring snow depth and melt at over 2000 locations on 10 different North Cascade glaciers. We will be mapping changes in the terminus position on 12 glaciers and surface elevation on specific profiles on 6 glaciers. The decent winter left the region with average snowpack as of May 1. Spring melting began on May 3, and the melt season has preceded with drier and warmer conditions than typical. The main crew will consist of Stewart Willis from WWU, Jill Pelto UMaine (5 years), Ben Pelto UMASS-Amherst (9 years) and myself (30 years). We will begin as usual at Columbia Glacier, where we will be joined by Tom Hammond (11 years) of the North Cascades Conservation Council and Alan Kearney, photographer. We will then head to the north side of Mount Baker for a week on Sholes Glacier, Lower Curtis Glacier, Rainbow Glacier and Ptarmigan Ridge Glacier. We will be joined here by Matt Holland, WWU, Jezra Beaulieu and Oliver Grah, Nooksack Indian Tribe. We will focus on installing ablation stakes here and measurement of streamflow including emplacement of two streamflow sensors below the glaciers to help the Nooksack Tribe identify how declining glacier area is going to impact summer streamflow and salmon in the Nooksack River. We then head to the Easton Glacier and Deming Glacier. On Easton Glacier we will again be joined by Tom Hammond. Last is Mount Daniels with the Ice Worm, Daniels and Lynch Glacier.
