Description:

Abstract:

The GLBA_ICE coverage is a representation of past and present

glaciation within the boundaries of Glacier Bay National Park

and Preserve. It depicts the more significant movements of

ice throughout various stages of time since the maximum extent

of the neo-glacial ("Little Ice Age") advance.

Purpose:

The purpose of this coverage was to analyze the historic movement

of ice and to identify the present regions of glaciation in

Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve through the compilation

and synthesis of various data sources/formats.

Supplemental_Information:

Procedures_Used:

Data for this coverage were collected from varying sources

including records from ecological studies and trimline surveys,

historic maps and archived information, USGS topographic maps,

nautical charts, and TM satellite images. Polygon shapefiles

weredigitized on to various Park GIS theme layers (including

elevation grids/contours, Park boundary lines, NOAA coastline,

scanned topographic maps and satellite imagery) using ArcView 3.0 and

converted to ARCINFO NT 7.1.1 coverages. Polygon and Region

topology was built, attribute information added, and citations

compiled in dbase format.

Notes:

Part of the maximum extent of the neo-glacial advance, especially in

the outer coast region is poorly known/documented, as well as along

the west side of the bay proper from the northern end of Dundas Bay

to Geikie Inlet. The extent of ice in to other areas of the Park has

been projected from various ecological studies and trimline surveys.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon and chain-node topology present.

Completeness_Report:

Early data (e.g. 1700 and 1860) is general in its coverage due to few

observations and inaccuracies of early maps. Latter data especially

the 1995 TM scene provided a much higher degree of accuracy. Some

inconsistencies are present between years due to attempts to remain

close to original sources.
