Fifty-Year Record of Glacier Change Reveals Shifting Climate in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska
http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3046/pdf/fs20093046.pdf
Documents the loss of mass of three glaciers in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska over a 50 year period and the acceleration of loss over the last 15 years.
