Brown Bag: A Century of Landscape Change in Alaska National Parks as Revealed by Repeat Photography

Oct 24, 2012

Location Information
Noon @ SOEI Sentry Room

Repeat photography has been used to document changes in ecosystems and landscapes across Alaska's National Parks by retaking historical photographs dating back to 1895. Most of the effort has been concentrated in the Lake Clark, Katmai and Aniakchak parklands in southwest Alaska. The photographs document a wide variety of changes associated with glaciers, coasts, floodplains, volcanism, landslides, avalanches, lakeshores, plant succession, shrub expansion, tree expansion, people, and human disturbance. The Park Service has initiated a new effort to involve the public in the retaking of old photographs in Alaska.

He has worked on ecology and geomorphology studies throughout Alaska for thirty years, focusing on landscape change, vegetation-soil-permafrost interactions and impacts of human activities. A primary focus has been terrain mapping, coastal studies, and soil carbon/permafrost dynamics. He has been monitoring coastal changes on the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta and in southwestern Alaska parklands.
