Gulkana Glacier Summer 2010 Research

Summer research/internship made possible by the Kolkenkow/Reitz Fund from Carleton College with Regine Hock, Anthony Ardent, and the Glaciology Dept at University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. The focus is on modeling mass balance and discharge of the Gulkana Glacier in Alaska and applying a climate change scenario in order to determine the magnitude of the effects of climate change on the Gulkana glacier and how the melt water will contribute to total sea level rise.
