Abstract
AbstractGlaciological data collected from Taylor Glacier have been used to assess aspects of the dynamics and thermal regime of the glacier. Mass-balance studies suggest that the glacier is in near equilibrium. The thermal condition of the basal ice over much of the ablation area was calculated from estimates of the geothermal heat influx and measurements of near-surface ice temperatures, ice velocities, and ice thickness. It was found that, in as much as 50% of the lower ablation area, the basal ice may be melting.
