News

Bruce Molnia (USGS) was interviewed twice about his work, particularly his use of the Glacier Photograph Collection. The first was an interview that will be utilized by the Climate Database Modernization Program (CDMP) who funds the digitization of the photograph collection. They will include this interview in their annual report. The second was done at NSIDC with the help of Ryan Vashon (CIRES) for our own collection. In addition to the interview, parts of the Good Days film may also be included in the CDMP annual report.
