This award supports observations of the completion of the surge of              West Fork Glacier, Alaska, and its effects on the Susitna River,                into which it drains.  The results will be analyzed in the context              of pre-surge studies of the flow regime of the glacier, and the                 sediment regime of the river.  Observations of the surge and of                 the damage system were begun early in the surge using resources                 from an ongoing project.  It is anticipated that the additional                 information will be particularly important when compared with that              from the detailed studies of Variegated glacier.  Also, it will be              the first time that the effects of a major surge on a large river               have been studied.  Results will impact our understanding of the                rapid glacial surge mechanism, and will have significance for                   understanding the dynamics of large continental glaciers, such as               the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
