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.
