MARC recordIce thickness measurements of Taku Glacier, Alaska, and their implications / M.A. Nolan, R.J. Motyka, Keith Echelmeyer, Dennis C. Trabant.
| Title: | Ice thickness measurements of Taku Glacier, Alaska, and their implications / M.A. Nolan, R.J. Motyka, Keith Echelmeyer, Dennis C. Trabant. |
| Author(s): | Nolan, M. A. Motyka, R. J. Echelmeyer, Keith. Trabant, Dennis C. |
| Date: | 1994. |
| In: | Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. (1994.), Vol. 75(44, supplement) (1994) |
| Abstract: | Abstract. Thickest and deepest glacier in North America yet measured. Data suggest that last retreat (began about 1750 AD) ended when ice bed at terminus was more than 300 m below sea level and 25 km from head of fjord, thus differing from nearby tidewater glaciers. During later advance in mid-1800s, lower glacier scoured over 100 m of sediment, which raised terminal moraine above sea level and prevented calving. Evidence suggests that terminus, stationary since 1988, may advance further. |
