-------- Original Message -------- Subject: aerial photos of a glacier Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2008 10:24:45 -0600 From: Coombs, James <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Thanks everyone for your help! Here's a summary of the responses: ------------------------------------ this website at Rocky Mount National Park might be of assistance: http://www.glaciers.pdx.edu/Projects/LearnAboutGlaciers/ROMO/GlcResearch .html Doug Ernest Colorado State University Libraries [log in to unmask] ----------------------------------- This isn't aerial photos, but you might want to look at the Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World. Fact sheet at: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2005/3056/. At least 3 of them are digital (use the USGS Publications Warehouse to find them). Sometimes I feel like the walking talking card catalog to all things geology! Have a good day on Election Day. Linda Zellmer ----------------------------------- I am not sure if these will help, but there is a contact for more detailed photos: http://www.brucemuseum.org/aboutus/press/Doubleexposure-GlaciersImageshe et.pdf . There may also be some info available here: http://www.nps.gov/noca/naturescience/glacial-mass-balance8.htm . Best, Joel Kovarsky ----------------------------------- I would try University of Wyoming and ask about photos of the Wind River Glacier. I know there has been some repeat photography of that glacier and studies detailing its retreat. Also, Montana State University in Bozeman might have some air photos of the glaciers in Glacier National Park. The park itself might have air photos that could be scanned and sent to your patron. The last place I would try is University of Alaska SE in Juneau. One of their geology professors, Cathy Connor has spent some summers with the Juneau Icefield Research Program (in existence since 1940) and might be able to direct you to some of the aerial photography and long-term glacial retreat studies that have been done as part of that program. Sincerely, Linda Marston ---------------------------------- Our library does not have any aerial photos as that is covered by the GeoData Center on a different part of campus. Try their website: http://www.gi.alaska.edu/services/geodata John Kawula Government Documents and Maps Librarian University of Alaska Fairbanks ---------------------------------- Your student might try this site through the National Snow and Ice Data Center: http://nsidc.org/data/glacier_photo/repeat_photography.html They have an extensive collection of glacier photography, including repeat photography of the same glaciers at various times.
