#Regram #RG @usgs: Would You Believe Late Spring in Glacier National Park?

USGS scientists play in the snow throughout the summer, depending on mountain conditions.

Glacier monitoring research on Sperry Glacier in Glacier National Park in late spring still offers winter-like vistas.
Sperry Glacier was chosen as the benchmark glacier for the glacier monitoring studies, due to the combination of its topographic characteristics, historic data, and access. Annual mass balance measurements began in 2005.
Sperry Glacier joined the long-established USGS Benchmark Glacier Research program in 2013 where common field and analysis methods enable regional comparison and improved understanding of glacier response to climate change.

For more information on Sperry Glacier and studies on the benchmark glaciers, please see:
