	Boggy's links to Glaciology
		A great deal has happened in the theory of the ice ages over the last decade, and it is now widley accepted that ice ages are driven by changes in the Earth's orbit.
		The study of ice ages is very inter-disciplinary, covering geology, physics, glaciology, oceanography, atmospheric science, planetary orbit calculations astrophysics and statistics.
		Featuring an accessible, non-mathematical, but rigorous conceptual treatment--with numerous very simple explanatory illustrations--this introduction to the basic principles of glaciology, geomorphology, and geology serves as a portal to the more advanced literature in the field and to discussion and research of the local situation.

	Revitalization of the USGS Glaciology Program
		Glaciology is directly related to at least three major national responsibilities of the USGS:
		Image-analysis expertise in the Geologic Division, photographic/mapping expertise in the National Mapping Division, and field monitoring of glaciers in National Parks by the Water Resources Division and the Biological Resources Division offer the possibility of conducting a strong USGS glaciology program across the four science divisions.
		There is a rare opportunity to revitalize the USGS's program in glaciology into one that embraces national responsibilities that are part of USGS's mission, utilizes state-of-the-art techniques, and coordinates the broad talents of a group of very capable persons to achieve a meaningful bureau program of glacier research.
