Summary:
Taylor glacier is the most frequently calving glacier in the Dry Valleys. I-139 is using small arrays of geophysical instruments at the glacier's terminus to better understand the dynamics of dry-land calving. Instruments include strain gauges, tilt sensors, thermistors, seismometers, and GPS receivers to measure strain within small networks. UNAVCO provided one Trimble 4000 base station and one Trimble 4700 rover for kinematic surveying of geographical features and photo sites, and an additional Trimble 5700 rover and field support for the initial surveying of the three strain arrays. Four Trimble 5700s, field support, data processing, and data archiving were provided for a late-season resurvey of the strain networks.
