Abstract The object of the 1957 program of the Juneau Ice Field Research Project on Lemon Creek Glacier was (1) to obtain data on surface movement in the accumulation region, and (2) to relate the movement to the average annual hydrological budget. Results show a net loss of ice over the past four years, although this deficit does not appear to be reflected by the movement of the ice. Lemon Creek Glacier appears to be in approximate equilibrium.

AbstractLemon Creek Glacier served as the focus of attention of the Juneau Ice Field Research Project from 1953 through 1958, during which period glaciological and related research was accomplished. This paper provides an historical framework for those studies by (1) considering variations of Lemon Creek Glacier in recent centuries and during millennia since the last ice age, and (2) describing certain relationships which appear to exist between these variations and the climatic record.It is found that Lemon Creek Glacier has been receding intermittently since a maximumc. 1750 and by 1958 had lostc. 25 per cent of the former area. Most rapid recession occurred during the periods 1891–1902 and 1929–58. Behaviour of the glacier sincec. 1750 reveals a parallelism with glaciers in most of the regions where temperature trends have been graphed as well as with other glaciers of the Juneau Ice Field. The advances of the 1950’s observed in the Rocky, Cascade and Olympic Mountains do not, however, show up in the Juneau area. Lemon Creek Glacier has not advanced more than 375 m. beyond the 1750 position, if at all, during the last 10,000 yr.

Systematic Development

There has been a dramatic increase in the use of strategic planning tools in the past decade. Since the quality of strategic planning will be greatly impacted by the quality of the information inputs, increasing attention should be paid to the systematic development of strategic intelligence systems. Examples are drawn from a field research project on these systems.
