...NORMAN D. SMITH Abstract In June 1987, Carroll Glacier (Glacier Bay, southeast Alaska) began to surge southeastward toward Wachusett Inlet. Between 9 June and 1 July 1987, the terminus advanced with a mean velocity of 29 m/day, slowing afterward but attaining a net displacement of >1 km by July...

...Andrew C. Phillips; Norman D. Smith Abstract Large submarine channels lead away from the coarse-grained fjord-head delta in Queen Inlet, Glacier Bay, Alaska. Coarse sediment loads from Carroll Glacier are transported down the delta foreslope and through the submarine channels, and finer material...

...William O. Field Abstract Nine glaciers in Glacier Bay, in southeastern Alaska, and three others within a radius of 60 km have been known to surge in the last 60 years. Of these, seven have surged during the 1960's. The surges of three of them, the Tyeen, Rendu, and Carroll, are discussed...

A pair of north-looking photographs, both taken from the same location on Triangle Island, Queen Inlet, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska, showing the changes that have occurred to Carroll Glacier and upper Queen Inlet during the 97 years between August 1906 and 7 September...

... come from Worthington Glacier (sampled in 1968 and 1969), the next is from Matanuska Glacier (1969), followed by three from Castner Glacier (1968 and 1969), followed by one each from Fels, Gulkana, College, Rendu, Carroll and Norris Glaciers (1969). Note that Ca 2+ is always the dominant cation in all...

...-sized materials that accumulated at the front of a glacier and were deposited as lateral and end moraines after the glacier began to retreat. The type of glacial till encountered in Durango where material was deposited as the glacier melted away is called “ablation till” ( Embleton and King, 1975...

...CARROLL LANE FENTON; MILDRED ADAMS FENTON Abstract Introduction PROTEROZOIC BIOHERMS AND BIOSTROMES In a discussion of Belt formations and fossils in Glacier National Park, Montana, the writers described and illustrated 2 thick, compact beds formed by the supposed alga, Collenia. Similar deposits...

Shaded relief map of Tuolumne River basin in Yosemite National Park (NP) showing maximum glacier extent during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) conditions (modified from Alpha et al., 1987 ) and the spatial pattern of 10 Be ages on glacial polish along a 94-km-long transect down the Tuolumne Valley. Inset...

...CARROLL LANE FENTON; MILDRED ADAMS FENTON Abstract INTRODUCTION The writers' study of the Belt series began in 1927 and was continued in 1928 and 1932. Field work was virtually completed in 1934, when a grant from the Geological Society of America financed twelve weeks in Glacier and Waterton Lakes...

.... Many studies have found that rates of chemical weathering are directly correlated to temperature ( Drever and Zobrist, 1992 ; Velbel, 1993 ; Brady and Carroll, 1994 ) and precipitation, or runoff ( Dunne, 1978 ; White and Blum, 1995 ). Although this may be an overriding factor in most...

... to the sediments impacted by modern climate change processes. Among the recent changes is Atlantification, the progressive inflow of Atlantic Water (AW) into the Arctic. This process causes an increase in water temperature and salinity, along with glacier retreat, the collapse of sedimentation seasonality...

... an extensive ice sheet (1.7 km thick) covering the region, followed by a waning phase characterized by 100-m-thick, topographically constrained outlet glaciers that shrank, leading to glacial demise. Our findings demonstrate that both a large ice sheet and highland glaciers existed over northwestern Namibia...

The Holocene Tanana basin is an alluvial and swampy lowland of ∼22,000 km 2 located north of the Alaska Range and south of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands...

...), in an extensional setting; Death Valley, California (148 m), in a strike-slip setting; and Qinghai Lake, north-central China (28 m), in a compressional setting. Such basins may be dry or contain lakes, depending on water supply ( Carroll and Bohacs, 1999 ). In all cases, closed basin formation occurs where rates...

It is part of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet and drains to the Sabrina Coast via the Totten Glacier, the third largest drainage system in East Antarctica. Our refined, comprehensive seismic stratigraphic analysis of a large multichannel...

Elliot Smith; Colby Schwaderer Abstract Weathering, erosion, and sediment transport in modern landscapes may be investigated via direct observation of attributes such as elevation, relief, bedrock lithology, climate, drainage organization...
