Glacier stake height measurements, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (1993-2020, ongoing)
As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a systematic sampling program has been undertaken to monitor glacial mass balance and meltwater flow. This data package includes stake height measurements to the surface of six glaciers (Canada, Com...
