Oct 23 Moab Information Center Lecture Series: Mapping the Last Ice of Utah- Join Canyonlands Natural History Association Discovery Pool recipient, Michael Thorne as he presents the efforts, using a variety of geophysical techniques, to map the last remaining glaciers in the state of Utah. Rock glaciers are mixtures of ice and rock found in high-mountain environments worldwide, with over 50,000 rock glaciers currently known to exist. They typically contain a layer of debris overlaying the ice, which acts to insulate the ice and causes them to melt more slowly than bare ice glaciers whose ice is exposed at the surface. To estimate their contribution to local water systems, the volume of ice must be measured, which is difficult to do using standard imaging techniques because of the often-thick volume of rock and debris sitting on the surface. In this presentation, I will focus on our efforts in mapping the ice content of high mountain rock glaciers in Utah’s Wasatch and LaSal ranges. At 6pm at the Moab Information Center. Sponsored by Canyonlands Natural History Association.
