The field team will travel by helicopter to established field camps in Taylor Valley, primarily the F6 camp, where they will perform annual maintenance on stream gauging equipment and make necessary hydrologic measurements. They will continue to upgrade temperature and specific-conductance probes at several gauges in Taylor Valley. The field team will also make day trips by helicopter from their field camp to various other dry valley study sites. Samples will be processed in the field and at the Crary Lab, and some will be shipped to the home institution for further analysis.
