Objective(s): To continue a thirty (30) year record of measurements of the White Glacier; to carry out mass balance measurements on White and Baby Glaciers; to study the limnology of Colour Lake and monitor lake ice regime.
Project Description: The project will continue to take measurements of the accumulation of snow on the glaciers and try to ascertain how much snow and ice has been lost or gained since it was measured in 1990. Limnology experiments will be conducted on Colour Lake. Ice regimes will be monitored.
