The Malaspina Glacier of Southern Alaska /Yukon Canada provides the opportunity to investigate the interaction between glaciers and tectonics, in an active orogen that is forming from the collision and accretion of the Yakutat Microplate in the Gulf of Alaska. Several large alpine glaciers coalesce...
