Measured Re-advance of a Debris-covered Glacier Terminus in the President Range, Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada

Abstract Measurements made at the terminus of Emerald Glacier in the Rocky Mountains of Canada indicate terminal re-advance in the order of one to two metres per year sustained since 1978 at least. Re-advance is maximum along that part of the terminus which is heavily covered with supraglacial debri...
