Summary: Dr. Andrew Fountain, a McMurdo LTER participant, returned to the Taylor Valley to continue research on the Commonwealth, Canada and Taylor glaciers. Studies focused on surface snow and ice accumulation and ablation, while monitoring solar and other environmental influences on the overall dynamics of the glaciers. This season the B-425 team utilized the ground based LiDAR to scan portions of the Commonwealth Glacier and Don Juan Pond. A UNAVCO engineer performed the laser scans and provided data post processing.
