Fluctuations of Coleman Glacier, Mt Baker, Washington, U.S.A.
Thickness variations above an ice fall in the terminal tongue of Coleman Glacier on Mt Baker, Washington, have been quite small (±5 m) in contrast to the rapid expansion and shrinkage of the tongue itself during the last 20 years. The tongue has not responded as actively to recent, larger thickness...

| Summary: | Thickness variations above an ice fall in the terminal tongue of Coleman Glacier on Mt Baker, Washington, have been quite small (±5 m) in contrast to the rapid expansion and shrinkage of the tongue itself during the last 20 years. The tongue has not responded as actively to recent, larger thickness changes above the ice fall as it did during its period of most active expansion between 1954 and 1956. There is no apparent relationship between the glacier thickness and the type of flow in the terminal tongue. |
