Abstract Narrative                                                                      The doctoral student supported by this dissertation award will          conduct a field study of the areas covered by the Tioga/Hilgard glaciers        in the Sierra Nevada of California.  He will use air photos, maps,              analysis of glacial deposits, and coring of selected lakes and meadows          to reconstruct the surface forms of the glaciers at different times             during their retreat in the late Pleistocene.                                           The purpose of the research is to determine more precisely when         the region was deglaciated and to infer from that information and other         field observations what climatic conditions existed at the time of              deglaciation.  The methods that will be used in this project are                innovative and the research will fill a large gap in our knowledge of           late-Pleistocene environments in the western United States.  More               generally, the project will contribute to our understanding of                  midlatitude alpine glacier dynamics during warming periods.
