The Seattle Times ran an article on the ongoing glacial research is the North Cascades:  seattletimes.com/seattle-news/science/disastrous-low-snow-heat-eat-away-at-northwest-glaciers .

The combination of very little snow last winter and very warm temperatures through the winter, spring and summer have been cause for questions about how our Cascade Range glaciers are doing. Mauri Pelto’s work in the North Cascades over the past 30 years has been gaining attention and this year sort of upped that interest – hence the Times article.
