Dyson Head, Department of Geology and Geography Lafayette College Member, Research Committee on Glaciers American Geophysical Union* The glaciers of Glacier National Park are only a few of many thousands which occur in mountain ranges scattered throughout the world. Glaciers occur in all latitudes and on every continent except Australia. They are present along the Equator on high volcanic peaks of Africa and in the rugged Andes of South America. Even in New Guinea, which many think of as a steaming, tropical jungle island, a few small glaciers occur on the highest mountains. Almost everyone who has made a trip to a high mountain range has heard the term, "snowline," and many persons have used the word with­ out knowing its real meaning. The true snowline, or "regional snowline" as the geologists call it, is the level above which more snow falls in winter than can he melted or evaporated during the summer. On mountains which rise above the snowline glaciers usually occur.

    Large-Scale Removal of Lake Trout in Quartz Lake Environmental Assessment

    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Glacier National Park Waterton Glacier International Peace Park Montana Large-Scale Removal of Lake Trout in Quartz Lake Environmental Assessment May 2009 Environmental Assessment Large-Scale Removal of Lake Trout in Quartz Lake Summary Since Glacier National Park was designated a National Park in 1910, native fish populations have been negatively impacted by non-native fish species. Many of the early impacts were the result of stocking non-native fish. Non-native fish such as Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri ) and rainbow trout (O. mykiss) were introduced into lakes and streams with native fish species such as westslope cutthroat trout (O. c. lewisi)). Native fish hybridized with non-native fish species, and in many cases, the native species were lost from portions of their range within the park as a result of both hybridization and competition with nonnative fish. In more recent years native fish in the park have been significantly impacted by the invasion of non-native lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) that have expanded within the Flathead River and lake system. Lake trout were originally introduced into Flathead Lake in 1905 (Deleray et al. 1999) and have migrated upstream into the lakes of Glacier National Park. Reproducing populations of lake trout subsequently became established in the majority of the accessible large lakes on the west side of the park. Research and monitoring have shown that the invasion of non-native lake trout into the lakes and streams west of the Continental Divide are having a major adverse impact on populations of federally-threatened bull trout (S.

  • Interactions Between Grizzly Bears and Hikers in Glacier National Park, Montana

    Interactions Between Grizzly Bears and Hikers in Glacier National Park, Montana

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Katherine L. McArthur Jope for the degree of Master of Science in Wildlife Science presented on April 26, 1982. Title: Interactions Between Grizzly Bears and Hikers in Glacier National Park, Montana Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Edward E. Skey Behavior of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) toward people was studied by examining hikers' reports of grizzly bear observations and by intensively observing grizzlies in an area of Glacier National Park that was heavily used by day-hikers.Of concern were the appar- ent habituation of grizzly bears to people in the study area, the increasing rate of human injuries by grizzly bears in the park, and the increased involvement of lone adult and subadult bears in inju- ries to hikers. Associations between environmental circumstances, including the presence and behavior of people, and grizzly bears' behavior were evaluated. Human use of the study area was associated primarily with season and weather. Numbers of grizzly bears observed were also associated with season as it reflected patterns of habitat use. Behavior of grizzly bears was associated primarily with the level of human activity, the presence of bear-bells, and the climatic circumstances under which the bears were seen. Although grizzly bears' fear response toward people appeared to habituate, they main- tained a degree of vigilance that was related to conditions affecting the ease of scent perception. Charges, which have been associated with hiker injuries, involved only people who did not have bear- bells. Charges occurred primarily along trails that received little human use although grizzly bears were also startled by hikers on trails with high levels of human use.
