Dynamics and mass balance of Taylor Glacier, Antarctica: 1. Geometry and surface velocities

Taylor Glacier, Antarctica, exemplifies a little‐studied type of outlet glacier, one that flows slowly through a region of rugged topography and dry climate. This glacier, in addition, connects the East Antarctic Ice Sheet with the McMurdo Dry Valleys, a region much studied for geomorphology, paleoc...
