  • 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.

    THESIS BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE; THE CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, AND LABILITY OF GLACIAL MELTWATERS IN THE AMERICAN WEST Submitted by Timothy Scott Fegel II Graduate Degree Program in Ecology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Jill Baron Co-advisor: Edward Hall Michael Gooseff Copyright by Timothy Scott Fegel 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE; THE CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, AND LABILITY OF GLACIAL MELTWATERS IN THE AMERICAN WEST Glaciers and rock glaciers supply water and nutrients to headwater mountain lakes and streams across all regions of the American West. The resulting changes in volume, timing, and chemistry of meltwater discharged by these features appears to be having significant effects on the adjacent alpine headwater ecosystems they feed. Whereas both glaciers and rock glaciers are sources of seasonal meltwater, sediment, and solutes to headwater ecosystems, differences in meltwater characteristics between glacial types, and its affect on biological productivity, is poorly documented. Here we present a comparative study of the metal, nutrient, and microbial characteristics of glacial and rock glacial influence on headwater ecosystems in three mountain ranges of the contiguous U.S.: the Cascade Mountains, Rocky Mountains, and Sierra Nevada. Several meltwater characteristics (water temperature, conductivity, pH, heavy metals, nutrients, complexity of dissolved organic matter (DOM), and bacterial richness and diversity) differed significantly between glacier and rock glacier 2+ 3+ meltwaters, while other characteristics (Ca , Fe , SiO2 concentrations, reactive nitrogen, and microbial processing of DOM) showed distinct charcteristics between mountain ranges regardless of meltwater source.

ISBN-0-9667409-1-2 Preface In this collection of stories, I have recorded some of my adventures on the mountains of the world. I make no pretense to being anything other than an average hiker for, as the first stories tell, I came to enjoy the mountains quite late in life. But, like thousands before me, I was drawn increasingly toward the wilderness, partly because of the physical challenge at a time when all I had left was a native courage (some might say foolhardiness), and partly because of a desire to find the limits of my own frailty. As these stories tell, I think I found several such limits; there are some I am proud of and some I am not. Of course, there was also the grandeur and magnificence of the mountains. There is nothing quite to compare with the feeling that envelopes you when, after toiling for many hours looking at rock and dirt a few feet away, the world suddenly opens up and one can see for hundreds of miles in all directions. If I were a religious man, I would feel spirits in the wind, the waterfalls, the trees and the rock. Many of these adventures would not have been possible without the mar- velous companionship that I enjoyed along the way.

  • Recent Glacier Fluctuations in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
    Executive Summary : Recent Glacier Fluctuations In Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming Author : Hazel A. Reynolds Date : March 16, 2012 Abstract : This executive summary identifies major findings of a Master of Science thesis concerning recent glacier fluctuations in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, for the use of park resource managers and other personnel. Keywords : summary, glacier fluctuations, Grand Teton National Park, thesis Executive Summary : Recent Glacier Fluctuations In Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming Reference: Reynolds, H.A., 2011, Recent Glacier Fluctuations In Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, MS Thesis, Idaho State University, 225 p. Overview This MS thesis is a scientific document that reports the recent status of the modern glaciers within Grand Teton National Park. Unlike previous reports concerning these glaciers, this thesis studied more glaciers (seven) within the Park and incorporated more glacier observations (nine to eleven) from aerial and satellite imagery acquired between 1956 and 2010. Problem Previous reports concerning modern glaciers within the Teton Range studied a select few glaciers over varying time periods, using only a small number of glacier observations. With anticipated changes in climate conditions, weather patterns will also change, which will affect these glaciers. Conclusions from previous studies do not present either a time-detailed record of glacier area change or a determination of changes in temperature or precipitation that are the dominant cause of changes in glacier area. If a dominant weather parameter (temperature or precipitation) is identified with a specific glacier response (growth or shrinkage), then future resource management can be planned and implemented in anticipation of the identified dominant weather parameter changes.
