  • Glacial Surface Area Change in Grand Teton National Park Jake Edmunds
    Glacial Surface Area change in Grand Teton National Park Jake Edmunds Meriden, Wyoming Glenn Tootle Civil and Architectural Enginnering _________________________________ Introduction: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change (IPCC) reported that a consensus exists among scientists and policy makers that “…the globally averaged net effect of human activities since 1750 has been one of warming…” (IPCC, 2007). The objective of the proposed research is to investigate glacial change in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP). Remote sensing data was obtained for the GTNP and a preliminary analysis of glacier area change was performed. Since the glaciated regions of GTNP have not been intensely studied in the past, it is essential to understand the past behaviors of the glaciers in the region. This study aims to create a database of quantitative information for the glaciers in GTNP such that future observations may be compared to past observations in an attempt to identify any long term trends of glacier behavior. The research aimed to document glacial surface area change for selected glaciers in the Teton Mountain Range via analysis of aerial photographs (preliminary analysis). Aerial photographs were obtained from the USGS Earth Resources Observation & Science (EROS) Data Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Each image will be analyzed with a photogrammetric (the process of obtaining quantitative information from photographs) approach. The proposed approach involves digitizing and georeferencing each photo using ArcGIS. Once the georeferencing process is performed each glacier can be delineated using an unsupervised classification. Areas of snow and ice tend to have distinct reflectance values in aerial photographs, thus those areas can be delineated using an unsupervised classification.

  • Grand Teton National Park News Release
    National Park Service Grand Teton PO Box 170 U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Moose, Wyoming 83012 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jackie Skaggs/307.739.3393 January 08, 2010 10-01 Grand Teton National Park News Release Environmental Assessment Available for Public Review on Site Work for Grand Teton National Park Headquarters Rehabilitation Project Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott announced today that the Moose Headquarters Rehabilitation Site Work Environmental Assessment (EA) is now available for public review. This EA will be open to review for 30 days, from January 11 through February 9, 2010. The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to perform site improvements that are designed to enhance visitor services and address employee health and safety deficiencies at Grand Teton National Park’s headquarters area in Moose, Wyoming. The site work would restructure vehicle/pedestrian access points, promote better traffic flow, reduce user-created trails and consolidate pedestrian walkways, and improve way-finding throughout the Moose headquarters complex. The purpose of the proposal is to upgrade and improve conditions in a way that enhances visitors’ experiences while providing a safe, healthy, and functional working/living environment for park employees and their families. The NPS preferred alternative involves the reconfiguration of vehicle and pedestrian traffic within the park administrative area and the Moose river landing access, the removal of several temporary buildings, and restoration work targeted at providing appropriate stormwater management. The proposed improvements are designed to increase visitor and employee safety, refine parking and traffic flow patterns, reduce the built environment, and improve water quality while still preserving the character of the area and protecting natural and cultural resources.

  • Grand Teton National Park Youngest Range in the Rockies
    GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK YOUNGEST RANGE IN THE ROCKIES the town of Moran. Others recognized that dudes winter better than cows and began operating dude ranches. The JY and the Bar BC were established in 1908 and 1912, respectively. By the 1920s, dude ranch- ing made significant contributions to the valley’s economy. At this time some local residents real- ized that scenery and wildlife (especially elk) were valuable resources to be conserved rather than exploited. Evolution of a Dream The birth of present-day Grand Teton National Park involved controversy and a struggle that lasted several decades. Animosity toward expanding governmental control and a perceived loss of individual freedoms fueled anti-park senti- ments in Jackson Hole that nearly derailed estab- lishment of the park. By contrast, Yellowstone National Park benefited from an expedient and near universal agreement for its creation in 1872. The world's first national park took only two years from idea to reality; however Grand Teton National Park evolved through a burdensome process requiring three separate governmental Mt. Moran.

  • 93 SAT 20.8. I Just Had to Dedicate My Previous Chapter to John Muir, As
    SAT 20.8. I just had to dedicate my previous chapter to John Muir, as even in the Yellowstone NP I had come across his name. Regardless of where JM travelled he would remain a Lowland Scot all his days. Only secondarily would he become a product or patriot of his adopted US, or a citizen of the World. Last night we went to bed before 9 pm. That was very early for both of us, but there was nothing else to do, as it was pitch dark and cold. But as our sleep was never very good (regular disturbance for both of us whenever turning in sleeping bags), we needed it, especially when we were up before 6 am. Temperature this morning was once again below zero; our car´s thermometer indicated - 5°C Today we were heading for Grand Tetotn NP. Before leaving Yellowstone National Park, here are some more pictures taken on our way to the YNP South Entrance: One of the best photos of a buffalo I took was on our way from Norris Camp, early morning with silvery frosty carpet – a huge animal on a white meadow 93 Smoking ground of Upper Geyser Basin The charming Yellowstone River meandering through meadows Yellowstone Lake at West Thumb 94 Before looking for a campsite we stopped at Jenny´s Lake and walked to Hidden Falls (4km – one way), but when we got there, the location was closed- under repair. VP decided to take a ferry back to where we started from as his leg was giving him some problems, whilst I walked a little up the stream along the horse trail, since that was opened, however due to a shortage of time I soon turned back, doing just over 8km around the Jenny Lake.

  • Exploring Grand Teton National Park
    05 542850 Ch05.qxd 1/26/04 9:25 AM Page 107 5 Exploring Grand Teton National Park Although Grand Teton National Park is much smaller than Yel- lowstone, there is much more to it than just its peaks, a dozen of which climb to elevations greater than 12,000 feet. The park’s size— 54 miles long, from north to south—allows visitors to get a good look at the highlights in a day or two. But you’d be missing a great deal: the beautiful views from its trails, an exciting float on the Snake River, the watersports paradise that is Jackson Lake. Whether your trip is half a day or 2 weeks, the park’s proximity to the town of Jackson allows for an interesting trip that combines the outdoors with the urbane. You can descend Grand Teton and be living it up at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar or dining in a fine restaurant that evening. The next day, you can return to the peace of the park without much effort at all. 1 Essentials ACCESS/ENTRY POINTS Grand Teton National Park runs along a north-south axis, bordered on the west by the omnipresent Teton Range. Teton Park Road, the primary thoroughfare, skirts along the lakes at the mountains’ base. From the north, you can enter the park from Yellowstone National Park, which is linked to Grand Teton by the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway (U.S. Hwy. 89/191/287), an 8-mile stretch of highway, along which you might see wildlife through the trees, some still bare and black- ened from the 1988 fires.

Your guides will pick you up in the morning from your pre-trip hotel. Transfer Time: 1 Hour 30 Minutes Yellowstone National Park: Welcome to Yellowstone, our world’s first national park! This famous national park is home to over 60% of the world’s geysers, which periodically erupt in towering explosions of boiling water and steam. And while these astounding phenomena and their neighboring technicolor hot springs and bubbling mud pots draw in the crowds, the surrounding canyons, mountains, forests, and wildlife are no less impressive. Mammoth Hot Springs: The northern part of Yellowstone is home to Mammoth Hot Springs, a must-see feature of the park due to its difference from other thermal areas in Yellowstone. The orange, yellow, brown, and white travertine terraces of Mammoth have been described as looking at a cave turned inside out.
