Draft 1: Global Climate Change and Effects on Snowfall/Glaciers

This topic submitted by Craig Patterson ( patterca@muohio.edu ) on 2/11/01 .

This is a very general entry. I have not been able to research the idea furter, but I am interested in determining how global climate change affects the amount of snowfall and patterns of glacial retreat. I propose to first examine snowfall and glacial data for the last 100 years and then attempt to determine whether human induced climate change has affected this. I have noticed a substantial decrease in the amount of snowfall in the midwest/midatlantic regions of the United States over the last ten years. Is this due to global climate change?
