Glaciers of the Olympic Mountains, Washington—The past and future 100 years

AG Fountain, C Gray, B Glenn… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract In 2015, the Olympic Mountains contained 255 glaciers and perennial snowfields
totaling 25.34±0.27 km2, half of the area in 1900, and about 0.75±0.19 km3 of ice. Since …

A Comprehensive Biogeochemical Assessment of Climate‐Threatened Glacial River Headwaters on the Eastern Slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains

JA Serbu, VL St. Louis, CA Emmerton… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is driving the loss of alpine glaciers globally, yet investigations about the
water quality of rivers stemming from them are few. Here we provide an overview …

Glacier mass and area changes on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, 1986–2016

R Yang, R Hock, S Kang, D Shangguan… - Journal of Glaciology, 2020 - cambridge.org
Glacier mass loss in Alaska has implications for global sea level rise, fresh water input into

[HTML][HTML] Brief communication: Recent estimates of glacier mass loss for western North America from laser altimetry

B Menounos, A Gardner, C Forentine… - The Cryosphere, 2024 - tc.copernicus.org
Glaciers in western North American outside of Alaska are often overlooked in global studies
because their potential to contribute to changes in sea level is small. Nonetheless, these …
