Mount Logan & the Icefields
A Short and Somewhat Personal History of Yukon Glacier Studies in the Twentieth Century
Glaciological exploration of the Yukon for scientific purposes began in 1935, with the National Geographic Society’s Yukon Expedition led by Bradford Washburn and the Wood Yukon Expedition led by Walter Wood. However, Project “Snow Cornice,” launched by Wood in 1948, was the first expedition to have glacier science as its principal focus. Wood’s conception of the “Icefield Ranges Research Project” led the Arctic Institute of North America (AINA) …
Modeling North American Freshwater Runoff through the Last Glacial Cycle
The Northern Hemisphere ice sheets decayed rapidly during deglacial phases of the ice-age cycle, producing meltwater fluxes that may have been of sufficient magnitude to perturb oceanic circulation. The continental record of ice-sheet history is more obscured during the growth and advance of the last great ice sheets, ca. 120,000–20,000 yr B.P., but ice cores tell of high-amplitude, millennial-scale climate fluctuations that prevailed throughout …
Outburst Floods from Glacial Lake Missoula
The Pleistocene outburst floods from glacial Lake Missoula, known as the “Spokane Floods”, released as much as 2184 km 3 of water and produced the greatest known floods of the geologic past. A computer simulation model for these floods that is based on physical equations governing the enlargement by water flow of the tunnel penetrating the ice dam is described. The predicted maximum flood discharge lies in the range 2.74 × 10 6 −13.7 × 10 6 m 3 s…
History and Bathymetry of a Surge-dammed Lake
A survey was made in 1974 of the small lake which had formed as a result of the surge advance of Steele Glacier, Yukon Territory, in 1965-68. Maximum lake level is controlled by a drainage channel which passes over rock near the hydrologic left margin of Steele Glacier. Since the surge advance of 1965-68 the lake has twice drained subglacially, producing minor outburst floods on Steele Creek and increasing the discharge of the Donjek River which …
