The Nisqually Valley below Nisqually Glacier, as seen from station 3. Aggradation on the flood plain, caused by the outburst flood of October 25, 1955, is evidenced by altered topography and dead trees. A new bridge was constructed high above the flood-affected channels. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 31, 1965. Figure 38, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

These data are the result of two years of pond-breeding amphibian visual encounter surveys conducted across a range of pond types (from highly ephemeral to permanent hydrology) in Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks. The R code includes well-annotated code for reorganizing and sub-setting the master data, which should make it much easier to work with than the raw spreadsheet. Associated hydrologic data may be of use for other research applications. Recognize that this amphibian dataset is tied to (1) hydrologic projections developed using the Variable Infiltration Capacity model, which provides historical reconstructions of hydroperiod for most of 20th century and future hydrologic projections...

Carbon River Glacier. A nunatak near the break of the glacier into the canyon. Mount Rainier National Park. Pierce County, Washington. July 1896.
Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Mount Rainier, viewed from the south. September 1964.
Nisqually Glacier from its confluence with Wilson Glacier to the nunatak, as seen from station 7. The upper part of glacier is at about its lowest known ice mass, as evidenced by the exposure of bedrock. There is almost no crevassing in the middle reach. The slope in the center is very flat and broken below there. Note the light-colored medial moraine approaching the nunatak from the upper right. Sources of debris may be deduced. Note also the large ice-cored moraine along the west edge of the glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 22, 1945. Figure 4, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

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. September 4, 1965. Panorama in two parts. Photo 44 and 45. (see vfm00044) Figure 35 (lower photo), U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Coarse mudflow breccia of the Ohanapecosh Formation at Governors Ridge, near the eastern edge of the Sarvent lava complex. Angular to subrounded blocks of lava form a disrupted framework in a matrix of unstratified and unsorted crystal-rich tuff-breccia. Most fragments are andesite, but the light-colored ones are rhyolite. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. ca. 1959. Figure 5, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 444.

Lower part of Nisqually Glacier as seen from station 5. Since 1942, the glacier has thickened by about 80 feet (24 meters) in the upper center and 40 feet (12 meters) slightly lower, but it is still thinning in the center of the photograph. Note the lateral melting of the ice ridge to left of the nunatak, as compared with the 1942 view and the exposed river bed. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 22, 1951. Panorama in two parts. Photo 22 and 24. (see vfm00022) Figure 21, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Upper reaches of the Nisqually and Wilson Glaciers, as seen from station 13. View is from several hundred feet up-glacier from station 13. Along the center, the surface of the ice is 62 feet (19 meters) higher than in 1944; 19 feet (6 meters) of this was added since 1948. Crevassing is becoming more extensive. Bedrock outcrops at the mouth of Wilson Glacier are nearly covered. Many of the bedrock outcrops are covered by the expanding glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 28, 1949.

Nisqually Glacier near the nunatak, as seen from station 6. Note the growth and movement of ice over the peak of the nunatak and along its east side which have occurred since 1954 (photo vfm00031). Crevassing in midglacier in the vicinity of the nunatak has a very coarse pattern, and the ablation of crevassed walls is very evident This was a summer of abnormally high ablation. The ice-cored, moraine-like ridge noted on the left in the 1942 view in series 5 (photo vfm00023) has nearly disappeared. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. September 5, 1958. Panorama in three parts. Photo 23, 31 and 32. (see vfm00023 and vfm00031) Figure 29, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Lower part of Nisqually Glacier as seen from station 5. Approximate locations of the surveyed cross profiles are shown. The entire glacier is receding. The area down-glacier (lower end of the white ice) is stagnant, as indicated by hummocky, debris-covered, non- crevassed ice. Note the long moraine-like ridge of debris-covered ice immediately to left of the white ice. The nunatak is bare. Note the debris load on the right half of the glacier downstream. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 31, 1942. Panorama in two parts. Photo 22 and 24. (see vfm00024) Figure 20, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Nisqually Glacier,
Remnants of two intracanyon flows from Mount Rainier in Stevens Canyon. Remnants of the earlier flow form Mazama Ridge and The Bench. The present Stevens Creek is entrenched 500 feet below the base of this flow at The Bench. A much younger flow rests on the present canyon floor, but it is found only on the south (left) side of Stevens Canyon. This flow, which descended through upper Stevens Canyon beyond the edge of the photograph on the right, may have followed a marginal melt-water channel along the south wall of a glacier that filled Stevens Canyon. This interpretation is also suggested by chaotic fans of curved columnar joints, perhaps formed by chilling of the lava against ice. These joints are developed all...

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. The lower part of Winthrop Glacier toward the southwest shows the white crevassed dark gray gravel-covered active terminus and down-valley face of the stagnant ice. The 2,000- to 3,500-year- old advance left lateral moraines of the forested slope to the left high above the stagnant ice but not visible on the photograph. Winthrop Glacier extended down-valley in the early part of the 18th century. Winthrop Creek is on the left, and West Fork White River is on the right. August 29, 1969. Plate 6, Figure 1, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 387-B.
View across Nisqually Glacier in series 14-W (profile 2) used to determine slope and changes in ice thickness. Not indicated is the bedrock feature from which the changes in ice-surface elevation were measured. The apparent crest of the debris-covered ice, rather than the white ice, was averaged to compute slope and charges in thickness in this and all other views in this series. The hand-held camera has been tilted, due to the deceptiveness of the true slope of the glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 21, 1942.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. From about 145 to 230 years ago, Winthrop Glacier occupied most of the area shown here. The nearly barren hill of debris in the center is between Winthrop Creek on the right and West Fork White River on the left. The dense forest in the middle distance is growing on an older surface. Wonderland Trail, in the center foreground, extends northeast and east over the moraine to the extreme right center. In the foreground and into the center, the trail follows the 1810 terminal position of the glacier. The sample area is on the moraine to the right of center. Material underlying the flat plain across the middle cut by the narrow bouldery ridge in the center was deposited in a pond...

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Nisqually Glacier near the nunatak, as seen from station 6.
Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Nisqually Glacier near the nunatak, as seen from station 6. This year, crevassing patterns are generally coarser than in 1961 (photo vfm00033). This wave of ice advance which is engulfing much of the nunatak reached a peak at profile 2 in 1963 and at profile 1 in 1965. A substantial part of the east-half discharge is now continuing straight down the glacier parallel to the valley margins, in contrast to the 1952-54 conditions of nearly complete diversion to the west. The large patch of debris visible in 1961 has gone, but debris still is surfacing just to the left of the nunatak. The debris mantle is continuous again in reach along the west canyon wall where an ice ridge...
