Charlotte, The Vermont Whale Glaciers and the Glacial Ages The landscape of Vermont, as well as the landscape of much of northern North America, Europe and Russia has been profoundly affected by glaciation over the last 1.5 million years. What are glaciers? How do they form? What are the physical effects of glaciers? Can these effects be seen here in Vermont? How frequently do Ice Ages occur? When did the last glacial age end? Will glaciers again advance over North America? Brought to you through the courtesy of Computing and Information Technology, University of Vermont.

Ice sheets have existed on Earth for half of the last one billion years! In the last million and a half years, geologists believe that the ice sheets have expanded to twice the size of today, and then shrunk, more than 20 times! What causes ice sheets to expand and contract? Are the present ice sheets growing or shrinking? How will global warming impact the ice sheets? How do the ice sheets impact the global system? Glacial geologists study the present glacial environment to understand "ice ages" of the past. Come and explore the ever-changing nature of the glacial setting; the ice, the changes it creates in the landscape, and its response to changes in the environment! What is a Glaciologist?

Glaciers : How Glaciers Form & Flow A interactive exercise that demonstrate different types of glaciers, how they form and flow.Category Kids and Teens School Time The Earth Geology glaciers......glaciers How glaciers Form Flow. glaciers begin to form when snow turns toice. glaciers are layers of snow that bury and compress the previous layers. http://www.eoascientific.com/interactive/glaciers/glaciers.html

Glaciers Glaciers begin to form when snow turns to ice. Glaciers are layers of snow that bury and compress the previous layers. This compression forces glaciers icy snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to cane sugar. In glaciers, these grains gradually grow larger, air pockets between the grains grow smaller and more packed, increasing the overall density of the glaciers mass. At 20 meters (65 feet) the sheer weight of the glaciers mass causes the lowest portions to deform into sliding layers. Glaciers begin to flow. Learn more through this glaciers interactive.

Glaciers in Rhode Island Dr McConeghy email mmcconeghy@jwu.edu Matanuska Glacier in Alaska meltwater lake on top of the glacier mmcconeghy Glaciers in Alaska? Yes, sure! But, how do we know there were Glaciers in Rhode Island? 1. Till and boulders photo mmcconeghy Alaska 1999 This photo actually shows recently deposited till at the foot of Matanuska glacier in Alaska, but the image should be familiar to anyone who has hiked around New England. Till is rocks that have been deposited by the glacier as it melts. The rocks are typically a mixture of all different sizes and shapes: some have been rounded off as they have been carried along by the ice, and further eroded by the water rushing out of the melting glacier. The glacial Till is often spread out into "braided" streams where it is further eroded and sorted. The rushing meltwater sorts the till into different sizes, rolling large boulders into piles, and carrying sand and silt further downstream than mid-sized rocks. Big glaciers move a lot of rocks, and we have many places in New England where you can see glacial boulders that have been moved by the ice.

18. All About Glaciers: Quick Facts Get the scoop on everything you wanted to know about glaciers. http://www-nsidc.colorado.edu/glaciers/quickfacts.html

Presently, 10% of land area is covered with glaciers. Glaciers store about 75% of the world's freshwater. Glacierized areas cover over 15,000,000 square kilometers. Antarctic ice is over 4,200 meters thick in some areas. In the United States, glaciers cover over 75,000 square kilometers, with most of the glaciers located in Alaska. During the last Ice Age, glaciers covered 32% of the total land area. If all land ice melted, sea level would rise approximately 70 meters worldwide. Glacier ice crystals can grow to be as large as baseballs. The land underneath parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be up to 2.5 kilometers below sea level, due to the weight of the ice. North America's longest glacier is the Bering Glacier in Alaska, measuring 204 kilometers long. The Malaspina Glacier in Alaska is the world's largest piedmont glacier, covering over 8,000 square kilometers and measuring over 193 kilometers across at its widest point. The massive lobe of Malaspina Glacier is clearly visible in this photograph taken from a Space Shuttle flight in 1989. (Photograph courtesy of SPACE.com and NASA.) Glacial ice often appears blue when it has become very dense. Years of compression gradually make the ice denser over time, forcing out the tiny air pockets between crystals. When glacier ice becomes extremely dense, the ice absorbs all other colors in the spectrum and reflects primarily blue, which is what we see. When glacier ice is white, that usually means that there are many tiny air bubbles still in the ice.

GLACIER COUNTRY Experience See Walk in flora "...as beautiful, as mysterious, as rich in elemental spirit as any left on earth." See rare forest and seabird species. Seal colonies too! Fish fertile waters. All in one place! South Westland will change forever the way you think of the environment. WELCOME TO GLACIER COUNTRY ! Here you are in some of the most special and beautiful country in the world and that's why this region has been given World Hertiage Park Status. Our glaciers are in a period of dramatic advance at present making this a particularly exciting time to be here. What is so special about these glaciers is that they descend almost into the forest a mere 12 kilometres from the sea. Twelve kilometres in the opposite direction takes us to the top of New Zealand's highest peaks! Glaciers have shaped all of this country. Beautiful lakes have been left behind by previous ice age retreats and the low hills are old moraines. There are many ways for the traveller to experience "Glacier Country", no matter what your fitness level or budget or the weather! Below are some suggestions of things to do and help to find accommodation, operators running activities, good food, shopping, services and facilities.
