  • 1 Andrews Glacier in August 2016 Tyndall Glacier Lidar Scan in May
    Final Report for “Glacier and perennial snowfield mass balance of Rocky Mountain National Park (ROMO): Past, Present, and Future” Task Agreement Number P16AC00826 PI Dr. Daniel McGrath June 28, 2019 Department of Geosciences Colorado State University [email protected] Andrews Glacier in August 2016 Tyndall Glacier LiDAR scan in May 2016 1 Summary of Key Project Outcomes • Over the past ~50 years, geodetic glacier mass balances for four glaciers along the Front Range have been highly variable; for example, Tyndall Glacier thickened slightly, while Arapaho Glacier thinned by >20 m. These glaciers are closely located in space (~30 km) and hence the regional climate forcing is comparable. This variability points to the important role of local topographic/climatological controls (such as wind-blown snow redistribution and topographic shading) on the mass balance of these very small glaciers (~0.1-0.2 km2). • Since 2001, glacier area (for 11 glaciers on the Front Range) has varied ± 40%, with changes most commonly driven by interannual variability in seasonal snow. However, between 2001 and 2017, the glaciers exhibited limited net change in area. Previous work (Hoffman et al., 2007) found that glacier area had started to decline starting in ~2000. • Seasonal mass turnover is very high for Andrews and Tyndall glaciers. On average, the glaciers gain and lose ~9 m of elevation each year. Such extraordinary amounts of snow accumulation is primarily the result of wind-blown snow redistribution into these basins (and to a certain degree, avalanching at Tyndall Glacier) and exceeds observed peak snow water equivalent at a nearby SNOTEL station by 5.5 times.

    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.

  • Contributions to the Geography of the United States, 1922
    CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE UNITED STATES, 1922. PENEPLAINS OF4 THE FRONT RANGE AND ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, COLORADO. By Wnxis T. LEE. PURPOSE OF THE PAPER. The purpose of this paper is to call attention to some of the major surface features in the Rocky Mountain National Park and to point out their probable correlation with similar features in neigh­ boring regions. The observations on which the paper is based were made in the summer of 1916, during an investigation in which other work demanded first consideration. This paper may therefore be considered a by-product. For the same reason many of the observa­ tions were not followed to conclusions, yet the data obtained seem to be sufficient to establish a certain order of events, the recognition of which may be of assistance in working out in detail the geologic and geographic history of the Rocky Mountain region. TWO CYCLES OF EROSION PREVIOUSLY RECOGNIZED. In an account of the general geology of the Georgetown quad­ rangle, Colo.j Ball x describes three distinct types of land forms " an old, mature mountainous upland; younger V-shaped valleys in­ cised in this upland; and glacial cirques developed at the heads of some of the streams, passing downward into U-shaped valleys." Ball describes the mountainous upland as consisting of highlands of rounded or gently sloping tops which are remnants of an ancient peneplain or old surface of erosion. Most of these remnants in the Georgetown quadrangle lie above an altitude of 11,500 feet. On thig old peneplain there were many monadnocks, some of which are now recognizable as the summits of the highest mountains.
