Summary
Abstract: The Paleoglaciology of Alaska project involves scientists to estimate past
climate parameters from glacial-geologic records. This project combines field
research and cosmogenic-surface-exposure dating with GIS analysis of Alaskan
glaciers that existed during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

-Former glacier extents, coupled with high-resolution Digital Elevation Models
