Because glaciers store snow and ice during cold seasons and release it as water during hot, dry weather, they are natural and effective regulators of their water supply. Glaciers have covered almost a third of the world's land throughout time. Evidence of past and present glaciation can be found across our national parks.

Studying Subglacial Lakes, Ice Sheet Dynamics and Tectonics in Antarctica with Aerogeophysics The polar regions play a critical role in Earth's climatic and geodynamic systems. Although located far from the main centers of human civilization, the polar atmosphere and oceans have strong global connections and therefore directly affect climate, landscape evolution, the global biosphere and human society. Over geologic time scales, Antarctic geodynamic processes are a major influence on ice sheet dynamics and global environmental change, which affects current and long-term, large-scale sea-level change. My research at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University links solid Earth geophysics and glaciology, providing unique research opportunities. I use integrated sets of aerogeophysical data, including gravity, magnetics, ice-penetrating radar, and laser altimeter measurements, to study physical processes linking tectonics, ice sheet dynamics and life in extreme environments, such as subglacial lakes.

Glaciology is the study of ice in the environment. Important components are seasonal snow, sea ice, glaciers, ice sheets and frozen ground. Glaciology at the University of Washington includes course curriculum and research related to all of these components of ice in the environment. Glaciological research at the University of Washington is carried out by faculty and graduate students in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences Atmospheric Sciences Quaternary Research Center and Applied Physics Laboratory . More on What is Glaciology? News and Links The 2010 Northwest Glaciologists' Meeting will be hosted at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, on 8-9 October.

This was clearly demonstrated by the Allalingletscher ice avalanche in 1965, which destroyed the construction site of the Mattmark hydraulic dam and claimed 88 victims. It was during this period when glaciological investigations became an important aspect of the work at the former Hydrology Section of VAW/ETH Zurich. Glaciology at VAW gained international recognition in 1973 due to the new theory on water flow in intra- and sub-glacial channels put forth by Hans Röthlisberger. As a direct result of the increasing importance of glaciological issues, the Glaciology Section of VAW (VAW/Glaciology) was founded in 1979.  VAW/Glaciology has ever since pursued the following activities Basic Research The strength of the Glaciology division of VAW has always been the investigation of processes in physical glaciology. Field studies with the best available methods are carried out under often challenging conditions. The results are analysed and interpreted with theoretical and numerical models.

To visit the new US Ice Core at Drilling program at West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS Divide) Click here! O n 1 July 1993, after five years of drilling, the Greenland Ice Sheet Project Two (GISP2,) penetrated through the ice sheet and 1.55 meters into bedrock recovering an ice core 3053.44 meters in depth, the deepest ice core recovered in the world at the time. With the completion of the GISP2 drilling program and a companion European ice coring effort (the Greenland Ice core Project (GRIP) , located 28 Km to the east) a new era in paleoenvironmental investigation has been opened. These records are of extreme significance to our understanding of environmental change because they not only provide the highest resolution, continuous, multi-parameter view produced thus far but as importantly the two records can be used to validate each other(e.g., dating, presence of events, length of the environmental record, presence or lack of discontinuities), the only such experiment of this magnitude in ice core research. In late 1988 the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) , formerly the division of Polar Programs, of the US.
