The Juneau Icefield is a geological icefield located just north and east of Juneau, Alaska and continues north to the Skagway, Alaska area. Current research of Climate Change in the field of Glaciology relies upon comparison of historical glacier mass-balance to current conditions.

Nonetheless, the northern side has smaller and shorter glaciers overall. Muldrow glacier has "surged" twice in the last hundred years. Surging means that it has moved forward for a short time at ...
