Alaskan national park glaciers – status and trends: Final report

Loso MG, Arendt A, Larsen C, Rich J, Murphy N. 2014. Alaskan national park glaciers – status and trends: Final report. Natural Resource Technical Report. NPS/AKRO/NRTR—2014/922. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/2217472

This is the final technical report presenting results of a three-year project involving scientists from the National Park Service, the University of Alaska, and Alaska Pacific University. These results differ, in some cases, from preliminary results presented in four prior progress reports and take priority over them. Objectives of the project include mapping of all glaciers within Alaska’s nine glaciated national parks at two time intervals, measurement of surface elevation changes on a subset of those glaciers, and an interdisciplinary summary of the nature and impacts of glacier change on 1-3 focus glaciers in each park. Objectives one and two are addressed here; the third focus glacier component will be presented in a companion interpretive report.
