Taylor Valley

Three spatially variable micromorphology samples taken from a discontinuous moraine linear ridge at Taylor glacier snout will provide hitherto unknown information on the microstructures of this deposition feature and help resolve the process(es) behind its formation and hence identity. Additional samples were removed from the compact debris-laden basal layer of Taylor glacier to allow in situ textural and structural analysis, by micromorphology, of this subglacial environment.
