Abstract
The mean mass balance of the McCall Glacier, Brooks Range, Alaska, was estimated for the period 1958 to 1971. The three methods used, photogrammetry, mean height of the equilibrium line, and correlation with the height of the synoptic 500 mbar pressure level, all gave negative values, but the amount depended on the method used. This trend of glacier recession is in agreement with most observations of glaciers in the Brooks Range as well as with the majority of the glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere.Keywords
