Abstract

Using GPS-technology, satellite imagery and photographic archives we wanted to document historic 20th Century changes in position, mass, and volume of cirque Glaciers of Grand Teton National Park. Our chief goal is to understand climatic processes impacting small-volume cirque glaciers in continental North America.
