Don: Good to hear from you. It was a treat visiting and teaching Joel about glaciers in visiting the Mount Baker glaciers in 1990. I have continued to measure the mass balance of two mount Baker glaciers, surface elevations on three and terminus positions on all of them. I have published the results in three key articles.

The website has the information updated to the present.
You will have to give me more information about the conference. May is a tough time with the end of the semester coming then. But I would be happy to work on something with you either way.

Subject: Mt Baker glaciers
Hi Mauri,
While in the process of compiling photos of Mt. Baker glaciers to extend the 1943-1990 data that Joel Harper and I put together some years ago, I stumbled upon your website and was pleasantly surprised to see how much work you have done. Obviously, you have already done what I was in the midst of doing!
I've grew up tromping around Mt. Baker (since about 1940) and began geologic work there in ~1957, focusing mostly on Pleistocene and Holocene glacial fluctuations and tephra/lahar chronology. Baker glaciers were in sharp retreat as I was growing up, then began to advance when I started working there. This was apparent on air photos and one of my grad students (Joel Harper) and I were able to document changes from 1943 to 1990 on most of the glaciers, plus sporadic notes dating back to ~1900. After many years of coring tress on moraines, I'm presently preparing a manuscript on LIA fluctuations and modern changes. Rather than 'reinventing the wheel' I'd like to cite your work on glacier margins 1990-2006. Is this data published or can I cite your webpage?
This spring (May), the Cordilleran section of GSA will meet in Bellingham and I'm hosting a symposium on Glaciation of Washington, including Holocene glacier fluctuations up to 2006. I'd like to invite you to present a paper in the symposium (or alternatively, join with me in presenting the fluctuations of Mt. Baker glaciers during the past century).
With all best wishes,
Don J. Easterbrook
