Summary: Dr. Licht's Antarctic work this season was to investigate the compositional variation of tills across two concentric sequences of Pleistocene moraines located adjacent to the heads of East Antarctic outlet glaciers in the Transantarctic Mountains. This season's effort allowed to assess to till composition changes through time, set in a chronologic framework generated from exposure ages of boulders on prominent morainal ridges. UNAVCO provided the group with 2 GPS receivers plus solar panels. Training was provided prior to the team departing McMurdo.
