Glacier movement and deposits, lake sediments, permafrost, and weathering features were studied and recorded. From this research, a unique and impressive collection of photographs, movies, rock and soil samples, and additional Antarctic archives remain in the personal collection of Troy L.

These archives are a unique historical record for assessing recent glacial and geomorphic change, future scientific investigations, and education during and following the International Polar Year (IPY).
