Dir: Kenneth McCready (2003) For 36 years (beginning in 1968), Molnia photographed and imaged, on the ground and from the air, glaciers of the Coast, St. Elias, and Chugach Mountains (initially using a 35-mm single-lens, reflex camera and later a digi tal camera). Beginning in 1974, as part of a U.S. Government assessment of the impact of oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Alaska region, he began aerial and ground-based glacier photography that has produced more than 15,000 small-format (35-mm) color photographs. Areas of geographic emphasis include Bering and Malaspina Glaciers, Icy and Glacier Bays, and the Juneau Ice Field. Many of these small-format color, oblique aerial photographs are used in the geographic-area sections of this report. Alaska’s Glaciers (Molnia, 1982, 1993, 2001), a summary of the distribution and history of investigation of many of Alaska’s glaciers, contains small-format color photographs of about 100 Alaskan glaciers. In the late 20th century and early part of the 21st century, Molnia added digital imagery to the documentation of Alaska’s glaciers. In 2003, in a partnership between the USGS, Alpha DVD, and the Alaska Geographic Society, Glaciers: Alaska’s Rivers of Ice, a DVD about glaciers and glacier terminology, was published (Alpha DVD, 2003).
