Summary: Alpine glaciers in the Taylor valley are significant contributors of water to the completely contained lake system. Estimates of mass balance for these glaciers require both ablation/accumulation measurements and motion surveys. UNAVCO assisted Thomas Nylen and Andrew Fountain in surveying markers on Canada, Commonwealth, and Taylor Glaciers. Cryoconite holes were simultaneously sampled for biomass analysis. UNAVCO support included training, field assistance (Figure 4), and data archiving. Thomas Nylen came to the UNAVCO Facility in Boulder in July 2001 for training prior to the field season.
