Book 2015eld their resource primarily on warm dry summer days when other sources are at their lowest yield. This natural tempering of drought conditions will be reduced as they retreat. .Mount Baker, a volcano in the Cascades of Washington, is currently host to 12 principal glaciers with an area of 36.8 km2.

Introduction to Mount Baker and the Nooksack River Watershed,e glaciers are a critical source of runoff for the North Fork contributing 30–40 % of the total runoff during late summer. In the last 30 years glacier retreat and climate change is altering the timing and magnitude of glacier runoff. For 31 years the North Cascade Glacier Climate Project has been e

Glacier Mass Balance,erm data archive, but also protocol for mass balance observations and reporting. NCGCP has measured annual mass balance for the last 31 years on North Cascades glaciers. The glaciers have all lost significant mass with a mean annual balance of −0.51 ma.. This is a cumulative loss of −15.5 m, equival

Glacier Runoff Observations at Sholes Glacier,of ablation and discharge immediately below Sholes Glacier quantifies the volume of glacier runoff to the North Fork Nooksack River, which provided more than 40 % of total river runoff on 21 days in August and September, 2014, peaking at 80 % of total flow on Sept. 15th. The ameliorating role of gla

Alpine and Glacier Runoff,in the unglaciated South Fork. During the 12 warm weather events a +15 % increase in discharge was observed during 11 events in the North Fork, and zero in the South Fork. For water temperature all 12 events caused a 2 °C rise in water temperature in the South Fork, but just two events caused this r
