Columbia Glacier Retreating - Geophysical Institute Columbia Glacier, located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Valdez near the epicenter of the great 1964 earthquake, is rapidly losing its battle for survival It is the last of Alaska's 52 tidewater glaciers to begin its epic retreat from the sea
The Columbia Glacier - Geophysical Institute The Columbia Glacier is one of Alaska's better known tidewater glaciers, both from the standpoint of tourist attraction and the model it provides for scientific investigation In 1973 it became the object of close scientific scrutiny
Alaska Glaciers Show Dramatic Melting - Geophysical Institute Columbia Glacier in Prince William Sound and Bering Glacier in the St Elias Mountains are two glaciers losing ice at an alarming rate: during the past decade, Columbia has shrunk by an average of about 21 feet per year along the length of the glacier; Bering has lost more than 9 feet per year
The Unknown Legacy of Alaskas Atomic Tests The big daddy came in 1971 Project Cannikin was a 5-megaton explosion that inspired the formation of the group Greenpeace, a group of environmentalists from British Columbia who joined together to oppose the test But Greenpeace and many others-including Alaska senator Mike Gravel and Congressman Nick Begich-were not able to prevent Cannikin

Alaskas Size in Perspective | Geophysical Institute Ten states are smaller than the area covered by glaciers in Alaska If glaciers of the adjacent Yukon Territory and British Columbia that connect to Alaska's ice fields (often referred to as the Alaska-Yukon glaciers) are added, thirteen states are smaller than the area covered by glaciers
Northern Tree Habitats - Geophysical Institute To answer this question, seedlings were obtained from different locations in western Canada and planted at the Boreal Arboretum at the University of Alaska After the first year, the tallest trees were those originating from the Prince George area of central and northeastern British Columbia, and the Peace River area of western Alberta

The Mechanics Of Rock-Skipping - Geophysical Institute Although my research in the Nevada desert predated Dr Wright's observations in the 1957 Scientific American, it is only fair that he be given credit for bringing the problem to the attention of the scientific community (even if he was--of all things--head of the English Department at Columbia University) Dr
