Another day of weather! The fog is so think it seems like it is raining and the wind has kicked up. I am learning not to believe the weather forecasts.
Jeremy weighing the salt to put in the glacier outlet river on fish hook.
Steve measuring the amount of salt to put in the river.
Survival suits are not just for surviving. They can be used to collect scientific data in the middle of a glacier outlet stream. Jeremy is measuring the conductivity in the stream after salt is added to determine the flow discharge of the river.
Jeremy measuring the conductivity of the glacier outlet wearing the survival suit so he can stand in the middle of the river.
Glacier day for some of the students. Ablation study (removal of snow from glacier), glacial albedo study (amount of reflection of solar energy) and weather station data on the Linne glacier.
Al, Diana, Terra and Andrew on Glacier in storm like conditions.
Weather station on Glacier.
Terra looking at the rocks on the glacier to see how if melting has occurred.
