Collaborative Research: Dynamics and Climatic Response of the Taylor Glacier System
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Taylor Glacier is a 60 km long outlet glacier that drains the Taylor Dome region of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet and terminates in Taylor Valley, the southernmost of the famous Dry Valleys of Victoria Land.
Description
Fluctuations of Taylor Glacier directly impact the Dry Valleys ecosystem and leave a geomorphologic signature. These fluctuations are driven by climatic changes in Taylor Valley and on the Taylor Dome region of the ice sheet.
The purpose of the proposed study is (1) to improve understanding of Taylor Glacier dynamics using a combination of field and modelling studies, (2) to use this information to analyze theoretically the response of the Taylor Glacier to climate changes, and (3) to use this framework to gain insight about past and future fluctuations of the Taylor Glacier terminus and margins. During 2002/2003 U.Texas and U.C. Berkeley completed our first of two field seasons on Taylor Glacier.

U.C. Berkeley took responsibility for ice motion, ablation and stable isotope sampling. During 2003/04 UT and U.C. Berkeley completed the second of our two field seasons on Taylor Glacier. Again, U.C. Berkeley took responsibility for ice motion, ablation and stable isotope sampling, starting in early season.
