Repeat Photography Project – USGS
Description
Repeat photography provides objective visual evidence of landscape change. USGS scientists created approximately sixty repeat photography pairs that document glacier change in Glacier National Park. These photograph pairs are available as a collection hosted by the USGS Photographic Library and are publicly available for download. Modern (1997 to 2019) photographs were taken from precisely the same location as historic (1887 to 1943) photographs, enabling direct comparison of the landscape then and now. The photographs document glacier change and illustrate the impact of climate warming on the glaciers of Glacier National Park.
