Spatial Reconstructions and Comparisons of Historic Snow Avalanche Frequency and Extent Using Tree Rings in Glacier National Park, Montana, U.S.A

Development of a Spatial Analysis Method Using Ground-Based Repeat Photography to Detect Changes in the Alpine Treeline Ecotone, Glacier National Park, Montana, U.S.A

Repeat photography is a powerful tool for detection of landscape change over decadal timescales. Here a novel method is presented that applies spatial analysis software to digital photo-pairs, allowing vegetation change to be categorized and quantified. This method is applied to 12 sites within the alpine treeline ecotone of Glacier National Park, Montana, and is used to examine vegetation chan...

Snow Avalanche Path Terrain and Vegetation, Glacier National Park, Montana Author(s):

Snow avalanche paths are major geomorphic features in the Rocky Mountains of Glacier National Park, Montana. They are the most common and geographically widespread form of mass-wasting in the central portion of the park. Field work and aerialphoto studies identified over 800 such paths in the study area. Other mass-wasting phenomena are also common. Snow avalanche path directions in the study a...
