Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental factors influencing diatom communities in Antarctic cryoconite holes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined diatom community composition in cryoconite holes and environmental correlates across three glaciers in Taylor Valley, Antarctica, and found that diatom communities were dominated by two genera, Muelleria and Diadesmis, both of which had high viability and could have been seeded from the surrounding ephemeral streams.
Journal ArticleDOI
A temperature-index model of stream flow at below-freezing temperatures in Taylor Valley, Antarctica
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors model runoff from glaciers in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, with summer (December-January) average air temperatures from 1990 to 2002 for the purpose of estimating decades-to millennial-scale glacial runoff into Lakes Fryxell, Hoare and Bonney.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and Temporal Active Layer Dynamics along Three Glacial Meltwater Streams in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
TL;DR: Active layer thickness was monitored along three ephemeral streams in the Taylor Dry Valley of Antarctica during the 1997-1998 summer season as discussed by the authors, and the thickness of the active layer was measured every 1.5 m over intervals ranging from 2 to 30 days.
