Previous Alaska High-Resolution Cruise

This view of the seismic streamer and bubbles from GI-airguns in the foreground, glacier-carved landscape in the background was taken during a high-resolution seismic survey in Lisianski Inlet, Alaska. Hubbard Glacier is 100 m high at its terminus (shown). Muir Glacier has receded 100 km in 300 years, contributing along with other glaciers within the park to 8 mm of global sea level rise.

The glacier is 100 m high at its terminus (shown) and every few decades it reaches Gilbert Point (shown in photo) causing ice damming and eventual floods down the bay threatening the town of Yakutat, Alaska.
