There are currently eleven glaciers in @grandtetonnps. As climate change progresses, these glaciers are at risk of disappearing. Beginning in 2022 and continuing for the next several years, Grand Teton National Park Foundation is supporting the park's efforts to explore new data collection methods and technology to expand the breadth and depth of understanding of multiple glaciers, including Teton, Falling Ice, Schoolroom, and Glacier Peak glaciers. To learn more, click the link in our bio. . . Pictured is a member of Grand Teton's physical science staff taking measurements at one of the park's glaciers. Elevation surveys measure the volume of ice gained or lost over time—a critical metric helping scientists and park managers understand the health of glaciers. This is important because understanding the health of glaciers allows park managers to better understand the hydrological system and how that influences the overall health of the entire ecosystem. . . . . . . . . . . #todayingrandteton #mygrandteton #findyourpark #jacksonhole #wyoming #thatswy #visitwyoming #jhdreaming #theoutbound #adventurejournal #usinterior #grandteton #tetons #gtnp #grandtetonnationalpark #optoutside #nationalparks #mygtnp #onlyinjh #grandtetons #discovergrandteton #nationalparkgeek
