| Summary: | Glaciers in Alaska were analyzed by watershed and region of Alaska for the State of Alaska Salmon and People (SASAP) project. 188 watersheds and thirteen lakes were assessed for number of intersecting lakes, area covered by lakes, and other lakes statistics as described in "Glaciers.ipynb" in this package. Glaciers data is based on the River Analysis Project (RAP) dataset as outlined in "A Riverscape Analysis Tool Developed to Assist Wild Salmon Conservation Across the North Pacific Rim" by Whited, D. C., J. S. Kimball, J. A. Lucotch, N. K. Maumenee, H. Wu, S. D. Chilcote, and J. A. Stanford (2012). Glacier polygons in the RAP dataset were provided directly by the authors and are based on 1990s-era Landsat 4 and 5 satellite data, with methodology outlined in the publication above.
