Surface Movement and its Relationship To The Average Annual Hydrological Budget of Lemon Creek Glacier, Alaska
Abstract The object of the 1957 program of the Juneau Ice Field Research Project on Lemon Creek Glacier was (1) to obtain data on surface movement in the accumulation region, and (2) to relate the movement to the average annual hydrological budget. Results show a net loss of ice over the past four y...

| Summary: | Abstract The object of the 1957 program of the Juneau Ice Field Research Project on Lemon Creek Glacier was (1) to obtain data on surface movement in the accumulation region, and (2) to relate the movement to the average annual hydrological budget. Results show a net loss of ice over the past four years, although this deficit does not appear to be reflected by the movement of the ice. Lemon Creek Glacier appears to be in approximate equilibrium. |
