Jul 24, 2024 How have glaciers changed in the last 100 year? Thanks to the Glacier RePhoto project and many forward-looking photographers, we have this powerful collection of repeat photos to share. Why does it matter: Mountain glaciers are critical to the western United States and other mountainous regions around the world. They provide key water resources, habitat for wildlife and fish, and areas to explore, recreate in, and be inspired by. But they are rapidly receding around the world due to climate change. Places and glaciers included in this video: Cascades, Sierra Nevada, Rocky Mountains, Three Sisters, Glacier National Park, Mount Rainier National Park, Mount Baker, Mount Hood, Mount Adams, Grinnell Glacier, Coe Glacier, Blackfoot Glacier, Emmons Glacier, Collier Glacier, Boulder Glacier, Thunderbird Glacier, and more.

About me: I’m Scott Hotaling–an Assistant Professor at Utah State University in the Department of Watershed Sciences. My lab studies high mountain ecosystems and the impact climate change and loss of snow and ice is having on them. I created this YouTube channel to share our research and information about climate change with the rest of the world.
