Exit and Paradise Glacier Foreland, Alaska River and Glacier Maps, Channel Surveys, Digital Elevation Model, and Orthophoto, 1800s-2013
October 2, 2018
This data release provides eleven datasets related to the fluvial area immediately downstream of the Exit and Paradise Glacier on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. Datasets include maps of historical Exit and Paradise creek and glacier positions, 2013 channel survey and particle size data, and a 2012 digital elevation model (DEM) and orthophoto of the Exit and Paradise glacier forelands, in Kenai Fjords National Park.

Glacial conditioning of stream position and flooding in the braid plain of the Exit Glacier foreland, Alaska Glacial conditioning of stream position and flooding in the braid plain of the Exit Glacier foreland, Alaska
Flow spilling out of an active braid plain often signals the onset of channel migration or avulsion to previously occupied areas. In a recently deglaciated environment, distinguishing between shifts in active braid plain location, considered reversible by fluvial processes at short timescales, and more permanent glacier-conditioned changes in stream position can be critical to...
