We collaborated with the Army Corps of Engineers’ Cold Regions Research
and Engineering Lab (CRREL) and the National Center for Airborne Laser
Mapping (NCALM) in their development of CRREL’s “Helipod” lidar
system, which made lidar data acquisition possible in the remote,
high-relief, and densely vegetated terrain of western Glacier Bay
National Park. Shad O’Neel and Dave Finnegan supported this
collaboration; Darren Hauser and Ken Hudnut assisted with data
processing. We thank Jim Kearns for boat transport in the field. The
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Alaska Earthquake Hazards Project and
Glaciers and Climate Project funded this research. Thanks to Ben
Gaglioti for bringing to our attention the buried stumps near the mouth
of Kaknau Creek. Lewis Sharman coordinated permitting for Glacier Bay
National Park. Reviews by R. Briggs, D. Mann, A. Meigs, and J. Spotila
