In the McMurdo Dry Valleys, glacial meltwater streams are a critical linkage between the glaciers and the lakes in the valley bottoms. This paper analyzes the physiographic characteristics and six years of discharge data from five streams in order to better characterize the dynamic inputs into Lake...
