Carbon River Glacier. General view of the glacier and great northern amphitheater from the lateral moraine. Mount Rainier National Park. Pierce County, Washington. July 1896.
Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Upper part of Mount Rainier, north- northeast over Winthrop Glacier. 1964.
Nisqually Glacier from its confluence with Wilson Glacier to the nunatak, as seen from station 7 in August 1915 by G.L. Parker, U.S. Geological Survey. This view was taken from a slightly different location than the others in series 7; it was higher on the hillside, with the camera pointed farther to k left. Note (as is graphically verified in photo vfm00009) how the conformation of the surface slope of the ice along the west canyon was different in 1915 than in 1963 or 1965 and how, during the intervening half century, many changes in exposure of the rock formations occurred. Note also the two moraines near the far edge of the glacier, marked by debris lines. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 1945....

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. End of the moraine from which Carbon Glacier started to recede about 1760, viewed from Wonderland Trail. The glacier is to the south about three-quarters of a mile. September 10, 1968. Plate 5, Figure 5, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 387-B. Photos srs00049 and srs00050 form a panorama.
Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Mount Rainier, viewed from the west. Each volcano provides a high mountain environment on which glaciers exist and which is, in turn, eroded by forces associated with glaciation. Cover, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1365.

Upper reaches of the Nisqually and Wilson Glaciers, as seen from station 13. Most of the exposed bedrock areas are covered by Wilson Glacier. The glacier surface at profile 3 is only 3 feet (1 meter) higher than in 1949 (photo vfm00037), but near the left edge it probably is about 60 feet (18 meters) higher, because at profile 2 the ice level rose 97 feet (34 meters) from 1949 to 1957. The crevassing appears much coarser (rougher) now and extends to the east edge of the glacier. The exposed face of the ice field above the cliff is thicker. The falls at the far left are nearly dry. Note the different layers (ages) of firn exposed in the small area on the lower right, which can be differentiated by various shades...

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Mount Rainier, viewed from the south across Nisqually Valley. 1964.
Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Ohanapecosh River valley near Ohanapecosh Glacier, showing an immobile remnant of the glacier. August 29, 1969. Figure 12, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 387-B.
This archive documents a Soil Water Balance (SWB) model of the The White River Basin, Washington and immediate surrounding environs. The SWB model is used to estimate surface processes of a water budget including precipitation, interception, evapotranspiration, surface runoff, etc. for the upper White River area from January 1999 - December 2020.
Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Upper part of Mount Rainier, viewed from the northeast. 1964.
The erosion of the old (pre-1840) lateral moraine on the east side of the glacier is shown by the series 11 photographs. The total erosion during the period 1947-65 appears to have averaged between 10 and 15 feet horizontally. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 25, 1947. Panorma in two parts. Photo 44 and 45. (see vfm00045) Figure 35 (upper photo), U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Nisqually Valley below Nisqually Glacier, as seen from station 3. West of the island of trees, most of the vegetation present in the 1934 view (photo vfm00046) is gone, due to the glacier outburst flood of October 1934. The river now flows west of this island of trees. The deck of the concrete highway bridge used prior to the October 13, 1932 flood is visible on the flood plain just below the island of trees. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 25, 1947. Panorama in two parts. Photo 46 and 47. (see vfm00046) Figure 37, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Note: this data release has been depecrated. Find the updated version here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P942QL23 In June, 2022, the Mount Rainier Streamflow Permanence model was revised to replace monthly climatic covariates with seven-month summaries to address peer-review comments related to inclusion of correlated covariates into the model. Replacement of the monthly covariates resulted in changes to the model source code and model outputs, which are now annual probabilities of streamflow permanence for years 2018-2020. This data release contains spatially gridded geospatial data (rasters), R scripts, and supporting files to run Random Forest models to predict the probability of late summer surface flow in Mt....
This data release contains spatially gridded geospatial data (rasters), R scripts, and supporting files to run Random Forest models to predict the probability of late summer surface flow in Mount Rainier and surrounding area in Washington State for 2018–20. Gridded geospatial data that describes the physical conditions of Mount Rainier National Park and surrounding area are used to refine the existing PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model (Jaeger and others, 2019). All data processing and analysis were scripted with R (version 4.0.4; https://www.r-project.org/) and was executed from the RStudio GUI (version 1.4.1103; https://www.rstudio.com/). R scripts to prepare the geospatial data, develop random...
Terminus of Nisqually Glacier selected from series 1-NE, taken from a point at or near the old highway bridge. Note the bulging shape of the terminus, steepness of the downstream face, and the vertical crevassing pattern. These characteristics suggest that the terminus is, or has very recently been, advancing. Photo by E. Ricksecker, U.S. National Park Service. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1903. Panorama in two parts. Photo 19 and 21. (see vfm00021) Figure 16, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Upper reaches of the Nisqually and Wilson Glaciers, as seen from station 13. The glacier from profile 3 downstream to where it leaves this view has now reached a steady state condition, as determined by the annual surveys. In general, the crevassing appears similar to that of 1957 (photo vfm00040). Firn can be seen in many areas. The ice on the cliff on the left is much thicker than in 1957. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Panorama in two parts. Photo 40 and 43. (see vfm00040) August 30, 1965. Figure 34, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

River channel just above the highway bridge, viewed downstream from a cliff. The October 25, 1955 glacier outburst flood has caused easily recognizable changes in the channel: 1., a large (13 by 19 by 25 feet, or 4 by 5.8 by 7.6 meters) boulder was deposited at the left; 2., a wider swath cut through vegetation; 3., a terrace formed along the left side of the flood plain; 4., many large boulders (one was 8 by 8 by 15 feet, or 2.6 by 2.6 by 4.9 meters) were deposited high on the left bank above and below the highway. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 28, 1956. Panorama in three parts. Photo 49, 51 and 52. (see vfm00049 and vfm00052) Figure 39-C, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. The bare amphitheater in the center holds immobile ice that was once part of Ohanapecosh Glacier. Today, Ohanapecosh Glacier is restricted to the sloping, partly snow-covered surface above the bedrock cliff. The glacier could not have been beyond the youngest dated moraine after 1878, beyond the middle moraine after 1846, nor beyond the oldest moraine area after 1741. The summit of Mount Rainier is the snow-clad mound forming the apparent horizon on the left. View is northwest. September 27, 1967. Figure 11, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 387-B.
