Retreat of Skilak Glacier 1952-2013 - Interactive Slider Graphic

Perspective rendering showing retreat of the Skilak Glacier, a major source of glacial runoff to the Kenai River. Colored lines indicate ice extent for 1952, 1978, and 2013 derived from aerial photographs. The toe of Skilak Glacier retreated only slightly between 1952 and 1978 and then it retreated rapidly over 4 km between 1978 and 2013, creating a new proglacial lake. An interactive slider graphic showing greater detail is available at https://ak-nsf-epscor.github.io/kenai-change/skilakGlacierChange.html
