Glacial Systems Homework

Question:

V.P. All Gore visited Glacier National Park and suggested that the major reduction in glaicers in the park reflects global warming. Is this a valid point or just a political point? (60 points)

 

Use your new insights to the mass balance of glaciers to defend or reject Gore's line of reasoning. Two +/- paragraphs of a well constructed essay question will work.

 

If this is true, why is Frans Joseph Glacier in New Zealand now advancing? (40 points)

Explain specific reasons for the behavior of this glacier. A paragraph or two is fine.

 


DUE via e-mail by 12:00 Friday. Evaluation will be based on both content (60%) and its presentation (40%).
