Bailey June 2020 Advisor: J. M. Daniels Author: Brandon K. Bailey Title: Rock Glacier Development in the San Juan Mountains Advisor: J. M. Daniels Degree Date: June 2020 ABSTRACT Rock glaciers are common landform features found in deglaciated alpine areas. They are commonly used in the study of climatic changes throughout the Holocene and the reconstruction of neoglacial chronologies. For this research, Schmidt hammer rebound values, weathering rind thicknesses, and the length of lichen thalli diameters found on rock glacier surfaces are used to investigate their effectiveness as field-based relative age determination techniques. Additionally, the ability to identify periods of neoglacial activity using these methods is assessed in two neighboring cirque basins in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. 41 field sites across three rock glaciers are established with approximately 2,050 Schmidt hammer measurements and 300 weathering rind thicknesses collected in total. The Schmidt hammer proved to be the most effective of the three relative age indicators in distinguishing between surfaces of different relative age. The R-values collected indicate three periods of neoglacial activity, which aligns with the neoglacial history of the area.

Fountain Chair Adam Booth Martin Lafrenz Portland State University 2020 Abstract Rock glaciers are flowing geomorphic landforms composed of an ice/debris mixture. A uniform rock glacier classification scheme was created for the western continental US, based on internationally recognized criteria, to merge the various regional published inventories. A total of 2249 rock glaciers (1564 active, 685 inactive) and 7852 features of interest were identified in 10 states (WA, OR, CA, ID, NV, UT, ID, MT, WY, CO, NM). Sulfur Creek rock glacier in Wyoming is the largest active rock glacier (2.39 km2).

    ++ ++ TOLEDO MAGAZINE toledoblade.com THE BLADE, TOLEDO, OHIO SUNDAY, JULY 26, 2009 SECTION B, PAGE 6 THE OUTDOORS PAGE Climbing Mount Sherman, one of Colorado’s majestic peaks By STEVE POLLICK and JEFF BASTING PHOTOS By STEVE POLLICK LEADVILLE, Colo. — If you want to feel like a god and view the world like a soaring golden eagle or Zeus, hike up a “Fourteener.” A Fourteener, or 14er, is one of the 14,000-foot-plus peaks of North America, and the best place to ascend one is in Colorado, which has 53 (maybe 54, it’s debated) of them. By comparison, California has 12 Fourteeners, Washington 2, Canada 15, and Mexico 8. Alaska has 21 of these highest peaks, 12 of them exceeding 15,000 feet. So Colorado is clearly Fourteener Country, and a cult of “peak baggers” sets out to ascend them all. An updated measuring system known as NAVD88, used here, even has tweaked upward the elevations of some peaks. On a summer vacation, two mountain-boy sons and a game, fi t son-in-law — who later admitted during a rest at 13,900 feet that he was petrifi ed of heights — agreed to escort The Old Man up the 14,043-foot Mount Sherman in the Rocky Mountains last month. Sherman is a Fourteener in the Mosquito Range, which looms Alpine kittentails. above Leadville (elevation 10,200 feet) on the east and which is connected by a knifelike saddle to the 13,748-foot Mount Sheridan. West of Leadville, across a broad high-country valley lies the Sawatch Range, which includes the 14,440-foot Mount Elbert, the Rockies’ highest peak, second only to California’s 14,505-foot Mount Whitney among top U.S.

Assuming no significant 13 differences in precipitation compared to modern values, mean annual temperatures in the region were on 14 average 8.8 +0.5/–0.8 °C cooler than they are today. Allowing for modest increases or decreases in 15 precipitation, required temperature depressions only differ by ± 0.2 °C . Temperature depression in the 16 northern Sawatch Range are consistent, although slightly greater, with those determined in other ranges in 17 Colorado using similar approaches.

  • Itinerary Overview
    Itinerary Overview Continental Divide Alpine Backpacking – 15 Days – Ages 16-18 Course Description Welcome, you’re in for an experience of a lifetime! Imagine hiking through rolling forests, sharing alpine meadows with mountain goats and climbing windswept peaks. Imagine scaling vertical rock cliffs deep in the Rocky Mountains and settling down for the night under a thick blanket of shimmering stars. Each day you will be getting to know your newfound community better, learning about the area and yourself, laughing with your expedition mates, and exploring North America’s most famous mountain range. You don’t need to have previous backpacking or climbing experience to fully embrace this extraordinary expedition, which combines beautiful environments and exciting activities with an emphasis on individual growth and community. In the mountains, you will learn the basics and finer points of living in the backcountry, as well as working in a team to achieve your goals. You will scale peaks high above tree line and stop often to admire awe-inspiring vistas. You will learn the basics of wilderness travel —how to pack appropriately, cook in the backcountry, set up tarps, tie knots and navigate using a map and compass. Throughout the course, you will sleep under a tarp, cook your own food, and take responsibility for the well-being of yourself and your crewmates. Your Instructors are highly qualified mountaineers and dedicated educators. They will serve as teachers, trainers, and mentors as you learn the skills required for wilderness travel. Through daily discussions, they will also help you and your group to discover the larger meaning in these activities.
