Summary: Peter Doran requested support to survey floating boulders and ice ablation monitoring stakes on Lakes Fryxell, Hoare, and Bonney in Taylor Valley. The ice ablation monitoring stakes were new this season, and were surveyed with GPS to monitor the annual motion of the permanent lake ice. These stakes will provide hydrologic balance measurements for the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program. Due to project time constraints, this season's GPS work was limited to Lake Hoare, where UNAVCO provided field support for the surveys, performed with the new Trimble 4700 receiver. Data processing and archiving were provided after the field surveys.
