Glacial Icemelt in the Wind River Range, Wyoming
Abstract
The Wind River Range of Wyoming contains the greatest
concentration of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains
with two of the larger glaciers being Dinwoody and
Gannett Glaciers. This study documents the importance of
glacier meltwater to the overall water supply in the
Wind River drainage, the loss of ice from Dinwoody and
Gannett Glaciers since the 1930's, and the remaining
volume of ice in Dinwoody Glacier.
