Executive Summary This is the fourth progress report for a multi-year study of glaciers in Alaskan national parks. The project will be completed in December 2013. Here we present results from mapping of all glacier extents and from measurements of surface elevation change for some glaciers in Kenai Fjords National Park (NP) and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (NP&P). With the exception of some surface elevation analyses in Wrangell-St. Elias NP&P, we have accomplished all tasks on schedule for this deliverable.
