Description:
Recession of “Golden Eagle” glacier in the central Brooks Range is exposing undisturbed lichen-covered boulders. Radiocarbon analysis of dead moss surrounding these boulders dates a Neoglacial advance across this site at 1120±180 years b.p Measurements of the preserved lichens indicate that a minimum ice-free period of 1500–2500 years preceded this glacial expansion.
