Glaciological investigations of the Upper Fremont Glacier in the Wind River Range of Wyoming were conducted during 1990-1991. The glaciological data will provide baseline information for monitoring future changes to the glacier and support ongoing
research utilizing glacial-ice-core composition to reconstruct paleoenvironmental records. The results of glaciological and meteorological investigations are presented and discussed in this paper.
The purpose of this paper is to report on glaciological investigations carried out at a single glacier in this region, the Rae Glacier. In 1990 and 1991 field research was completed to describe the physical glaciology of Rae Glacier
and to characterize historical glaciological trends at the site. The glacier has a lag time of 5 to 10 years, which confirms that it is sensitive to climatic fluctuations and responds to changes in mass balance within a very short time. This observation is supported

Variations of italian glaciers between 1980 and 1999 inferred by the data supplied by the Italian Glaciological Committee
The study synthesises the analysis of those data relevant to the variation registred in the Italian glaciers during glaciological surveys carried out by the Italian Glaciological Committee between 1980 and 1999. The last twenty years of the 20th

extended to three-dimensional volume estimation and dynamic monitoring using radar imagery and GPS. The emergence of new satellite images will make remote sensing of glaciology more predictive and global.
by the glaciological reconstruction and homogeneous parameterization of the 1850 glacier situation in the Swiss Alps (the last advance period of the Little Ice Age). The statistical comparison with the present-day glaciation (recorded in 1973) provides for the first
time a complete synopsis of various glaciological and geographical aspects of longterm glacier retreat in the period since 1850. Attempts were made, based on the new inventory data, to model potential ice decay scenarios for the swiss Alps
and to estimate the glaciological consequences of an enhanced atmospheric warming. - (NF)
