Pelto, Mauri

Mauri Pelto is a glaciologist and professor at Nichols College in Dudley, Massachusetts. He has been studying the mass balance of glaciers in North America for over 25 years through the North Cascade Glacier Climate Project. Pelto's research focuses on understanding the processes behind glacier volume loss and its implications for sea-level rise and climate change. His work involves extensive annual fieldwork to measure and report glacier mass balance, which he has conducted without federal funding by seeking alternative, sustainable funds and employing cost-efficient techniques.

Alaska's Top-Heavy Juneau Icefield: Melting 4.6 Times Faster, Losing 68 Glaciers Since 2005

Broke On: Saturday, 06 July 2024 Alaska's Juneau icefield, a massive interconnected glacier system near Juneau, is melting at an unprecedented rate, with one larger glacier completely disappearing and 64 others vanishing between 2005 and 2019. This top-heavy icefield's accelerated melt contributes significantly to global sea-level rise, projected to reach approximately one quarter of the total increase by 2100 AD. The melting trend is driven by rising temperatures linked to human-induced climate change.
