What is the width of the taku glacier at the terminus

The Taku Glacier, located in Alaska, has begun to record the effects of climate change. For the past 50 years he had resisted them but he is already melting.

Using satellite imagery, aerial photography and field mapping with GPS, glaciers at the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) have been tracking the thickness of Taku's annual snow cover since 1946. According to these  scientific studies, Taku is one of the thickest Alpine glaciers known in the world, with 1,480 meters (4,860 feet) from the surface to the bed, and it is also the largest glacier in the Juneau ice field.

The scientists used satellite images of Operational Land Imager in Landsat 8. As a result, it was possible to demonstrate the processes of change of this glacier between 2014 and 2019, identifying the most visible changes between the glacier and the river. These studies indicated that the Taku glacier is exposed to melting earlier than previously thought and will change its glacier width and mass.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

the first phase of the government’s plan for settlement was building the transcontinental railroad. the railroad provided a way to bring settlers and manufactured goods west and ship their agricultural and mining produce east. the transcontinental railroad was an essential artery for rapid development of the frontier.

the second phase of the government’s plan was a liberal land distribution policy that made it possible for many people to homestead. with these two key elements—transportation and cheap land—the government rapidly achieved its goal of persuading people to move west, settle on farms, and push back the frontier.
