Collaborative Research: IPY: Dynamic Controls on Tidewater Glacier Retreat INSTAAR Univ. of ColoradoNSF Arctic Program W.T. Pfeffer (CU INSTAAR) September Columbia Glacier, Prince William Sound: 1000 km 2, 50 km long in km retreat since ~1982, average retreat rate ~ 0.6 km yr -1 Flow speed as great as 27 m d -1 (9.8 km yr -1 ) Average iceberg discharge ~4 km 3 yr -1, Max discharge 7 km 3 yr -1 Ungauged basin delivering ~2-3 km 3 yr -1 fresh water to PWS Complete photogrammetric coverage: 134 aerial photo surveys Most complete data on marine-based glacier instability and dynamic retreat and best location to study ice dynamics (accelerated iceberg discharge) contributions to sea level rise.

Collaborative Research: IPY: Dynamic Controls on Tidewater Glacier Retreat INSTAAR Univ. of ColoradoNSF Arctic Program Terminus and velocity field 8 June – 7 July – 2011 Program Objectives: Obtain better understanding of interaction between climate forcing, marine-grounded glacier dynamics, and sea level rise, using: Existing record of motion and retreat 1980s- present. Seismic record of iceberg calving. Time-lapse sequences of terminus behavior and calving. New data acquisition including airborne radar, aerial photogrammetry, terrestrial time-lapse sequences. Analysis, including numerical modeling. Data archival: 30+ record, presently held in several locations, to be cataloged and placed in single, central source (NSIDC/WDC-A) New methods: Improved seismic filters for identifying iceberg calving. Automated photogrammetric analysis of time- lapse sequences
