PORT ANGELES — Bill Baccus, a physical scientist at Olympic National Park, will talk about “Olympic Glaciers: Past, Present, Future” at Peninsula College’s Studium Generale program Thursday.
His presentation will begin at 12:35 p.m. in the college’s Little Theater, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
Baccus will discuss how glaciers provide a window into the past as well as an ongoing record of the changing climate by presenting new research and photography that demonstrate the dramatic retreat of the glaciers.
Baccus, who is stationed at Olympic National Park, works with the National Park Service’s North Coast and Cascades Network.
He has worked at the park for 25 years on a wide range of long-term monitoring projects, including climate, glaciers, air quality, mountain lakes, elk and coastal ecosystems.
