Neoglaciation of Avalanche Gorge and the Middle Fork Nooksack River Valley Mt. Baker, Washington
The Neoglacial fluctuations of two of Mt. Baker's alpine glaciers were studied by tephrochronologic, dendrochronologic, and relative dating methods coupled with detailed geologic mapping. The earliest recognizable advance of the Deming Glacier occurred prior to deposition of Mazama tephra and a...
