Here are some helpful organizations that try to prevent glacier and ice
erosion. Their websites are also very informational concerning this type of
erosion.
One of the glacier associations is the USS Glacier AGB-4 Association. They work to save glaciers. Their mission statement is, � The goal of the Association shall be to promote friendship, comradeship and kinship between Navy, Scientists, Civilians, and other Military personnel with a common bond of once having served aboard the USS GLACIER AGB-4; and instill pride and patriotism in those for having so served.�
Another one association is the USS/USCHC Glacier Association. The Glacier Society is a non-profit 501-(c)3 Educational Foundation based in Bridgeport, dedicated to uniting polar interests around the globe through restoration and operation of the USS/USCGC Glacier. Once restored, the Glacier will return to public service as a fully operational platform for scientific and environmental education and research. Both of these are very good organizations and I�m glad that they are saving glaciers! Researchers at NSIDC investigate the dynamics of Antarctic ice shelves, new techniques for the remote sensing of snow and freeze/thaw cycle of soils, the role of snow in hydrologic modeling, linkages between changes in sea ice extent and weather patterns, large-scale shifts in polar climate, river and lake ice, and the distribution and characteristics of seasonally and permanently frozen ground. In-house scientific expertise helps NSIDC improve the quality of research data sets and respond quickly to inquiries on snow and ice topics from the general public. Scientists pursue their work as part of the CIRES Cryospheric and Polar Process Division, University of Colorado, Boulder. National agencies fund research through the peer review proposal process.
