Excerpt from Glacier Variations and Climatic Fluctuations
Dr. Ahlmann's studies began in Norway in 1918, were extended to Spitsbergen in 1931, to Iceland in 1936, and to northeast Greenland in 19 39. The norwegian-british Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1949 - 1952, was largely a product of his planning and organization. In the summer of 1952, following the meeting in Washington, he made a brief visit to Southeastern Alaska under the auspices of the American Geographical Society, supported by funds generously provided by the Office of Naval Research. His objective was to observe the principal glaciological fea tures of that area and to evaluate the studies being made there by-this Society and others, in order to further the development of a well-integrated international program of glaciological-climatological research.
