Summary: Alpine glaciers in the Taylor Valley are significant contributors of water to the completely contained lake system. Estimates of mass balance for these glaciers require both ablation/accumulation measurements and motion surveys. GAGE assisted Thomas Nylen with the installation of three Trimble 4000 receivers on Commonwealth Glacier and one nearby to be used as the base station. The data will be used in calculating the spreading rate of the glacier. |
