Reading: Chap. 2 in Benn and Evans. Read over once, we will discuss key points in class. You will probably want to read it a second time to reinforce the lab material.	Questions: Homework questions Food for thought: 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. If this is true, why is Frans Joseph Glacier in New Zealand advancing? Glaciers and Global Warming - Glaciers: Are They Retreating or Advancing? Simple enough question. Old homework based on the above Example of a well done homework A past homework with emphesis on air photos
Lecture: Mon. Notes, Wed Notes	Data Collection: Air photographs, maps in 628 Geo/Phy
Study Images: Glacier Parts	Data Reduction: Thinking - spreadsheet, plotting
