  Description: 
    Abstract:
     The GLBA_ICE coverage is a representation of past and present
     glaciation within the boundaries of Glacier Bay National Park
     and Preserve.  It depicts the more significant movements of
     ice throughout various stages of time since the maximum extent
     of the neo-glacial ("Little Ice Age") advance.
 
 
    Purpose:
     The purpose of this coverage was to analyze the historic movement
     of ice and to identify the present regions of glaciation in
     Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve through the compilation
     and synthesis of various data sources/formats.
 
 
    Supplemental_Information:
 
      Procedures_Used:
      Data for this coverage were collected from varying sources
      including records from ecological studies and trimline surveys,
      historic maps and archived information, USGS topographic maps,
      nautical charts, and TM satellite images. Polygon shapefiles
      weredigitized on to various Park GIS theme layers (including
      elevation grids/contours, Park boundary lines, NOAA coastline,
      scanned topographic maps and satellite imagery) using ArcView 3.0 and
      converted to ARCINFO NT 7.1.1 coverages.  Polygon and Region
      topology was built, attribute information added, and citations
      compiled in dbase format.

      Notes:
      Part of the maximum extent of the neo-glacial advance, especially in
      the outer coast region is poorly known/documented, as well as along
      the west side of the bay proper from the northern end of Dundas Bay
      to Geikie Inlet.  The extent of ice in to other areas of the Park has
      been projected from various ecological studies and trimline surveys.

   Early data (e.g. 1700 and 1860) is general in its coverage due to few
   observations and inaccuracies of early maps.  Latter data especially
   the 1995 TM scene provided a much higher degree of accuracy. Some
   inconsistencies are present between years due to attempts to remain

  Overview_Description:
    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
     The Polygon attribute table contains information listing the ID
     numbers, general location, time period, and numbers to reference
     citations for each polygon containing ice. The Ice region
     attribute table contains field items showing ID numbers,
     location,time period, and numbers to reference citations for
     each region containing ice.
