Dyson Head, Department of Geology and Geography Lafayette College Member, Research Committee on Glaciers American Geophysical Union* The glaciers of Glacier National Park are only a few of many thousands which occur in mountain ranges scattered throughout the world. Glaciers occur in all latitudes and on every continent except Australia. They are present along the Equator on high volcanic peaks of Africa and in the rugged Andes of South America. Even in New Guinea, which many think of as a steaming, tropical jungle island, a few small glaciers occur on the highest mountains. Almost everyone who has made a trip to a high mountain range has heard the term, "snowline," and many persons have used the word with­ out knowing its real meaning. The true snowline, or "regional snowline" as the geologists call it, is the level above which more snow falls in winter than can he melted or evaporated during the summer. On mountains which rise above the snowline glaciers usually occur.

  • Annual Report 2010
    ANNUAL REPORT 2010 Resource selection, movement, recruitment, and impact of winter backcountry recreation on bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) in the Teton Range, northwest Wyoming Project Investigator: Matthew Kauffman, Unit Leader, Wyoming Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming 82071 Co-Investigator: Alyson Courtemanch, M.S. Candidate, Wyoming Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming 82071 PROJECT BACKGROUND The Teton Range bighorn sheep herd resides year-round at high elevations in Grand Teton National Park and on the Bridger- Teton and Caribou-Targhee National Forests. Although the herd historically wintered at lower elevations in Jackson Hole and Teton Basin, they now winter exclusively in wilderness areas at high elevation on windswept ridges and slopes. It is Wyoming’s smallest and most isolated native herd- a remnant population of approximately 100-150 sheep derived from a much larger bighorn sheep complex that historically lived in northwest Wyoming. Unlike many other bighorn sheep herds in the Rocky Mountain West, the Teton herd has yet to undergo a transplant to augment population size. However, the population’s hold on the future is tenuous, owing to its small size, genetic isolation from surrounding herds, and the combined effects of loss of historic winter ranges, habitat Figure 1. Project study area. alteration due to fire suppression, and potential impacts by increasing winter backcountry recreation. Much of the current information regarding these threats and the status of this native population is incomplete. The data from our study will provide the most extensive and complete picture of bighorn sheep habitat use, seasonal distribution, movement, and recruitment (lamb survival) in the Teton Range to date.

  • A Brand Story Cloudveil Mountain Works
    A BRAND STORY CLOUDVEIL MOUNTAIN WORKS 1997 — 2007 A BRAND STORY PROLOGUE EVERY BRAND HAS A HISTORY. Spiced with setback and triumph, founding stories all tell a strangely familiar tale. Conviction, ideas and vision inspire the genesis, yet people and place are what instill in a brand its sense of character.
