The purpose of this report is to describe and summarize data collected during the 2011 water year. It is not known, however, how representative South Cascade Glacier is of NOCA glaciers in general because of the influence of non-climatic factors such as geographic position, aspect and elevation. Cascade Canyon is located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The South Cascade Glacier annual balance in 1966 (-0.94 m) was considerably more negative mainly owing to the deficient winter snowpack (the late-winter balance was only 2.52 m) and the warm dry summer. South Cascade Glacier for four different years between 1964 and 1992, during which the glacier was thinning and receding. Differences between the patterns may result from the routing of surface meltwater in crevasses prior to entering the body of the glacier. Our Research: Our group studies mass change at five glaciers (Gulkana, Lemon Creek, South Cascade, Sperry, Wolverine) in North America using field and remote sensing techniques.To do so, we measure snow accumulation and snow and ice melt at specific locations on the glaciers, then extrapolate those point observations across the entire glacier surface.

DESCRIPTION. The average thickness of South Cascade Glacier was found to be 83 meters in 1965, based on flow velocity and balance measurements. 2010). Direct field measurements are combined with weather data and imagery analyses to estimate the seasonal and annual mass balance at each glacier in both a conventional and reference surface format (Cogley and others, 2011). Free topographic maps visualization and sharing. The theoretical pattern compares well, in a broad sense, with the flow pattern determined from tracer injections in 1986 and 1987. South Cascade Glacier lost mass at an almost constant rate during the late 1950s to the late 1960s, then gained mass until 1976, and has been losing mass at a fairly constant and rapid rate since 1977. > South Cascade Glacier Click on the map to display elevation . : I 19.16:715-B 1.
