To characterize seismic facies for interpreting past glacier behavior, especially during the last glacial maximum. Glacier Bay is the site of the best documented major marine deglaciation in the world and allows comparison between glacier terminus stability with changing climate and marine conditions. Upper Yakutat Bay contains deposits produced by the surge of the Hubbard Glacier in 1986 and the subsequent outburst flood from Russell Fjord. Historical records of glacier terminus positions provide a datum with which the history of this marine glacial system can be determined from seismic and sedimentary facies.
