Using visual methods to understand visitors’ normative evaluations of glacial recession at Kenai Fjords National Park

Hallo J, Bricker KS, Brownlee MT, Moser MC. Using visual methods to understand visitors’ normative evaluations of glacial recession at Kenai Fjords National Park. Research Permit and Reporting System

This study investigated how Exit Glacier’s potential continued retreat might influence visitor behavior, experiences, and preferences. The researcher used onsite quantitative questionnaires (n = 539) and computer-altered photographs of potential glacier recession (n = 10) to identify visitor responses to Exit Glacier’s retreat. The results indicate that visitors found current conditions moderately acceptable and found extreme recession primarily unacceptable.
