John Muir Trail and the Range of Light The 210 mile John Muir Trail (JMT) is one of America’s best known, most scenic, and treasured trails. It follows the Sierra Nevada crest from Yosemite to Mt Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States. It is named after John Muir, the well-known nineteenth and early 20th century naturalist, environmental philosopher and champion for the establishment of U.S. National Parks. He helped establish Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and was an advocate for many years. “My romance with the JMT began as a child when my parents spent their hard-earned vacations undertaking backpack trips in the Sierra Nevada. As a family we covered much of the JMT as well as many of the peripheral trails. These trips set the stage for me as an artist later in life wanting to capture the wonderful “Range of Light” scenes and details through which the JMT meanders.” —Faith Rumm Why 100 Paintings? Much publicity and modern lightweight gear has made thru-hiking this magnificent stretch of land wildly popular. More and more people seek an adventure like this because it’s a grand opportunity to immerse in wilderness, find a simpler existence for a time, challenge oneself, and come out the other side transformed. When people “do the JMT,” they are seeking this potentially elusive transformation. By the same token, this is what Rumm seeks artistically; a truly immersive experience that puts her in a different place artistically by the time the destination is reached. “Ultimately, whether hiking or painting or anything else, it’s about the journey isn’t it?…” —Faith Rumm California artist Faith Rumm is a prolific fine art oil painter and owner of RummStudio Interpretive Illustration and Design, founded in 2003. Her deep love of nature is the driving force behind all of her work. Rumm paints outdoors (plein air), and also finds equal fascination working on large pieces in the studio. Painting outdoors involves quick decision-making and spontaneous expression; painting indoors allows more time for deep internal meditation and development of ideas. Recently Faith set up her studio on 7th St. in Mariposa near Yosemite to continue a focus on her John Muir Trail 100 Paintings project. This is a studio painting endeavor featuring mostly large paintings. Paintings are created from photos Faith took on thru-hikes, sketches and memory. The project is in progress. Faith has completed four thru-hikes of the JMT and spent four summer seasons as a wilderness ranger in the John Muir Wilderness. She worked as an interpretive ranger with National Park Service for eight years. Exploration of wild nature remains the key to her life as an artist.

Title: Quantifying Twentieth Century Glacier Change in the Sierra Nevada, California Numerous small alpine glaciers occupy the high elevation regions of the central and southern Siena Nevada, California. These glaciers change size in response to variations in climate and are therefore important indicators of climate change. An inventmy based on USGS topographic maps (l :24,000) revealed 1719 glaciers and 2 perennial snow and ice features for a total area of39.l5 ±7.52 km • The number of 'true' glaciers, versus non-moving ice, is estimated to be 118, covering 15.87 ± 1.69 2 km • All glaciers were located on north to nmtheast aspects, at elevations >3000 m.

COMMITTEE APPROVALS: _______________________________________ Andrew G. Fountain, Chair _______________________________________ Keith S. Hadley _______________________________________ Martin D. Lafrenz DEPARTMENT APPROVAL: _______________________________________ Martha A. Works, Chair Department of Geography ABSTRACT An abstract of the thesis of Hassan Jules Basagic IV for the Master of Science in Geography presented May 5, 2008. Title: Quantifying Twentieth Century Glacier Change in the Sierra Nevada, California Numerous small alpine glaciers occupy the high elevation regions of the central and southern Sierra Nevada, California. These glaciers change size in response to variations in climate and are therefore important indicators of climate change. An inventory based on USGS topographic maps (1:24,000) revealed 1719 glaciers and perennial snow and ice features for a total area of 39.15 ±7.52 km2. The number of ‘true’ glaciers, versus non-moving ice, is estimated to be 118, covering 15.87 ± 1.69 km2. All glaciers were located on north to northeast aspects, at elevations >3000 m. Historical photographs, geologic evidence, and field mapping were used to determine the magnitude of area loss over the past century at 14 glaciers. These glaciers decreased in area by 31% to 78%, averaging 55%. The rate of area change was determined for multiple time periods for a subset of seven glaciers. Rapid retreat occurred over the first half of the twentieth century beginning in the 1920s in response to warm/dry conditions and continued through the mid-1970s.
