Here’s a sneak peek of one of the repeat photo pairs I created earlier this summer in Denali National Park, Alaska during my fieldwork for my Murie Science and Learning Center Fellowship S.R. Capps Project:

This summer I’m beginning work on a project reconstructing and mapping the 1916 and 1919 scientific field investigations of U.S. Geological Survey geologist Stephen Reid Capps in the Denali National Park and Preserve area of Alaska.

We have a Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus) that has been living under our deck and spends a lot of time in our backyard in Anchorage, Alaska. It’s been fun watching him (we assume it’s a male) his fur change from his brown summer morph to his white winter morph.

Stephen Reid Capps faced significant challenges traveling and conducting geology fieldwork in remote Alaska in 1915. Travel throughout Alaska at the beginning of the 20th century was limited by the general lack of road and rail infrastructure and typically required travel by foot, horse, dogsled, or boat.

Repeat photography of Raven Glacier at Crow Pass in Chugach National Forest, Alaska (1915 to 2010). In the 95 years between images, Raven Glacier has significantly thinned and retreated.
