Abstract:
The goal of this report is to describe the role glaciers play in the local and regional hydrology and the impact they may have on the environment and infrastructure of Mount Rainier National Park. Methods included field verification of the spatial extent of debris-covered ice, observing the velocity of debris-covered ice using both field techniques as well as remote sensing techniques, and estimating volume change of glacier ice using airborne LiDAR digital elevation models.
