Summary: Field support was provided to survey topographical transect endpoints on Taylor Glacier, radar reflector locations on Commonwealth Glacier, and a stream and lake system on Canada Glacier. This work helps to understand the melt water contribution of the Taylor Valley glaciers to the ecosystem, and is part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER program. These surveys were performed with the new Trimble 4700 receiver system. Data processing and archiving were provided after the field surveys. A handheld Garmin DGPS receiver was also provided to field assistant Thomas Nylen for various applications in Taylor Valley for the entire field season.
