Grinnell Glacier, Glacier National Park, Montana

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1939
Stratification due to the annual accumulation of snow is well exhibited in Grinnell Glacier. Layers of snow in the narrow firn zone at the head of the glacier are wedge-shaped and have a steep initial tilt toward the glacier front. Weight of overlying layers forces the earlier-formed layers to rotate so that after travelling a relatively short distance

A seismic investigation — Peyto Glacier, Banff National Park and Woolsey Glacier, Mount Revelstoke National Park

Geoexploration, 1975
Abstract Reflection and refraction seismic surveys were conducted over Peyto Glacierin Banff National Park and Woosley Glacier in Mount Revelstoke National Park using an FS-3 hammer seismograph to determine ice thickness, bulk and elastic constants. Ice thicknesses were calculated using reflected shear waves in the absence of reflected P waves.

Recent Glacier Recession in Glacier National Park, Montana

The Journal of Geology, 1941
The magnitude of recent glacier recession in this area has been brought to light by means of detailed mapping of several of the larger glaciers and examination of many-others. Results indicate that since the beginning of the present century some of the principal glaciers have been reduced 40-75 per cent in area and more in volume.

Introduction to Glacier National Park

1979
An Act of the United States Congress in 1910 established 401 000 ha of wilderness astride the continental divide in northwestern Montana as Glacier National Park. It is a land of dense forests on the lower mountain slopes, with scattered prairie remnants and intrusions, giving way to subalpine mosaics and alpine tundra at the higher elevations.

Recession of glaciers in Glacier National Park, Montana

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1940
Recent detailed mapping by the National Park Service of several glaciers in Glacier National Park, Montana, has yielded much information about the volume‐shrinkage of these glaciers since the area was mapped by the United States Geological Survey in 1900–02.

Sphagnum in Glacier National Park, Montana

The Bryologist, 1920
The specimen was not large and was sterile, hence more of it and with fruit if possible, was most desirable. The locality given was "Mt. Wachusett," and as the collection had come to the museum through the death of the owner, there seemed to be nothing else to do save to hunt over the mountain from top to bottom, a rather large task, Several months ...
