Effects of the 1964 Alaskan Earthquake on Glaciers and Related Features
Describes an aerial photographic reconnaissance in Apr and Sept 1964 of the approx 30,000 sq mi area most seriously affected by the Mar 27 earthquake to assess the extent to which glacial features had been modified. Little change was apparent in glacial basins, lakes or tidewater calving, much less...
