  • The Icefield Ranges Research Project, 1972

    Open AccessRichard H RagleARTICLEARCTIC1973

    The Icefield Ranges Research Project (IRRP) base camp (61° N, 138°30' W) opened its doors on 3 June. ... Four programs, supported in whole or in part by the project, were in the field before the official opening of Kluane base camp, and two research teams remained in the field through early September. From 3 June until 29 August base camp was in full operation. A total of 86 persons representing 23 colleges, universities, and institutions (12 Can…

    The 1971 Icefield Ranges Research Project (IRRP) field season again was something of a paradox and, as in past seasons, weather was the guilty agent. Projects that were carried out on the continental slope of the St. Elias Mountains enjoyed relatively good weather; those pursued under the direct influence of Pacific maritime air masses suffered through possibly the worst season weatherwise since the inauguration of IRRP in 1961. Research activity…

    In 1970 the Icefield Ranges Research Project (IRRP) conducted its tenth consecutive summer of interdisciplinary basic research in the St. Elias Mountains, Yukon Territory, and in the valley and plateau region to the east where all aspects of the environment reflect the influence of those mountains. Summer field investigations began in April and ended the last week in August. And for the first time since the Project's inception in 1961, two progra…

    The Icefield Ranges Research Project (IRRP) - as was visualized nearly ten years ago - becomes each year more and more a complete study of the environment dominated by the St. Elias Mountains, Canada/Alaska. Since 1967, IRRP has been composed of three closely-integrated research units, planned to achieve the proposed aims of IRRP as defined by Dr. W.A. Wood, the original Project Director, accepted by the Arctic Institute's Board of Governors in 1…

    The Icefield Ranges Research Project conducted its seventh field program in the St. Elias Mountains between 15 May and 1 September 1967. Under the broad categories of Earth Sciences and Biological Sciences, studies in 18 disciplines were conducted by more than 38 investigators and their assistants. This figure does not include personnel of the supporting Kluane Lake Activity of the Arctic Institute of North America, nor does it include 8 visiting…

  • Icefield Ranges Research Project, St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, 1966

    Open AccessRichard H RagleARTICLEARCTIC1967

    The Icefield Ranges Research Project (IRRP) continued in 1966 to expand its areas of research. Though work began 1 June and continued until the first week in September, the major portion of the summer investigations was carried out between 20 June and 20 August. Interdisciplinary by nature, IRRP is a combination of investigations in many research fields. In the broad categories of geography, geology, and biology, there were in 1966 twenty studies…

  • Effects of the 1964 Alaskan Earthquake on Glaciers and Related Features

    Open AccessRichard H Ragle, John E Sater et al.ARTICLEARCTIC1965

    Describes an aerial photographic reconnaissance in Apr and Sept 1964 of the approx 30,000 sq mi area most seriously affected by the Mar 27 earthquake to assess the extent to which glacial features had been modified. Little change was apparent in glacial basins, lakes or tidewater calving, much less than after the 1899 and 1958 earthquakes of comparable violence. Some rock slides on to glaciers were impressive. The effects are related to the Tarr …

    The Icefield Ranges Research Project (IRRP) began its fifth research season 5 May 1965 when those people who were studying meteorology and climatology arrived in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, for a two-day briefing under the direction of Mr. H. Wahl, Chief Forecaster for the Department of Transport weather station. Personnel involved in other research continued to Kluane Lake to open the base station and to begin checking and calibrating equipment…

    The Icefield Ranges Research Project (IRRP), co-sponsored by the American Geographical Society and the Arctic Institute of North America, completed its third successful field season in early September 1963. The base camp at the south end of Kluane Lake, Yukon Territory, Canada was opened on June 4 and closed on August 27. The field party consisted of Dr. W. A. Wood, as project leader and R. H. Ragle, who as field leader was assisted by four other…

    The Ice Field Ranges Research Project concluded its fourth summer of research in the St. Elias Mountains, Yukon Territory, Canada, on September 2, 1964. The project is sponsored jointly by the Arctic Institute of North America and the American Geographical Society and its director is Dr. Walter A. Wood. The studies of a glacierized area in terms of its total environment that were begun in 1961 were successfully continued. The base camp at the sou…
