Glacier's Geology and Changing Climate by Backpack
8:00 AM  Glacier Institute
Description:
Instructor: Jeff Kuhn, M.S.
July 24-27, Thursday-Sunday
Meeting Place: Field Camp at Glacier National Park
Currently, a great deal of scientific research is focused on documenting and understanding the causes and effects of global climate change. Mid-latitude glaciers, such as those in Glacier National Park, are some of the best and most easily observed indicators of climate change. This course will explore the impact of climate change in Glacier National Park as well as discuss the awesome forces of nature that deposited and later carved Glacier’s ancient rock into what we see today. The group will spend three nights in a backcountry campsite and take day hikes to several places in the area including Jackson Blackfoot Glacier.
