Alaska, Juneau Icefield
Alaska’s Juneau Icefield Is Melting at an ‘Incredibly Worrying’ 50,000 Gallons per Second, Researchers Find
The Juneau Icefield, which extends for some 1,500 square miles from northwest British Columbia, Canada, into southeast Alaska, is composed of more than 1,000 glaciers, and it has been for millennia. But now, perhaps more than ever, the landscape’s longevity is in question.
Melting of Alaska’s Juneau icefield accelerates, losing snow nearly 5 times faster than in the 1980s
The melting of Alaska’s Juneau icefield, home to more than 1,000 glaciers, is accelerating. The snow covered area is now shrinking 4.6 times faster than it was in the 1980s, according to a new study.
New study raises concerns as major icefield in Alaska melts at alarming rate

Alaska glaciers may hit irreversible melting point sooner than expected, study finds
Glaciers in the Juneau Icefield in southeastern Alaska are melting at a faster rate than previously thought and may reach an irreversible tipping point sooner than expected, according to a study published on Tuesday.
Melting glaciers in the Juneau Icefield may be approaching “irreversible tipping point,” new study says
The Juneau Icefield is home to the Mendenhall and more than a thousand other glaciers. Ice there has melted especially fast over the last decade — twice as quickly as it did before 2010.
Glacier melt is accelerating in Alaska, study says. Dire news for rising seas?
