Glaciological Studies on the McMurdo-South Pole Traverse, 1960-1961

Report submitted by Richard P. Goldthwait to the National Science Foundation. The University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history. Studies of snow stratigraphy indicate that the mass accumulation between Victoria Land Plateau (78° 02' S, 154° 22�...

Goldthwait to the National Science Foundation. The University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history. Studies of snow stratigraphy indicate that the mass accumulation between Victoria Land Plateau (78° 02' S, 154° 22' E) and the South Pole is approximately 4.5 g.cm-2yr-1 (±20%), which is one-half the amount determined previously for the same region. The rate of mass accumulation decreases from south to north, a trend opposite to that reported in the literature.
