Glacial geomorphology of Bonney drift, Taylor valley, Antarctica
The aim of this paper is to document the response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) near the Dry Valleys to the excess warmth of the last interglaciation by establishing the behavior of Taylor Glacier. The AA. present a model for the deposition
by Taylor Glacier of Bonney drift in central Taylor Valley. Bonney drift is important because it records the penultimate advance of Taylor Glacier through central and lower Taylor Valley.
Geochronology of Bonney drift, Taylor Valley, Antarctica : evidence for interglacial expansions of Taylor glacier
This study focuses on glaciogenic sediments in Taylor Valley, which features Taylor Glacier, an outlet of the peripheral Taylor Dome of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS). Here, the AA. present the geochronology of Bonney drift.
Wisconsinan and Holocene climate history from an ice core at Taylor Dome, western Ross Embayment, Antarctica

Geochemical data and geophysical measurements from a 554-m ice-core from Taylor Dome, East Antarctica, provide the basis for climate reconstruction in the western Ross Embayment through the entire Wisconsinan and Holocene. Finally, the AA. discuss
the significance of the Taylor Dome record in the context of Antarctic ice sheet configuration, regional outlet and alpine glaciers, and global climate dynamics.
Radiocarbon chronology of Ross Sea drift, eastern Taylor Valley, Antarctica : evidence for a grounded ice sheet in the Ross Sea at the Last Glacial Maximum
More than 250 radiocarbon dates of lacustrine algae and marine shells afford a chronology for Ross Sea drift in eastern Taylor Valley. Four major drift sheets in eastern Taylor Valley are differentiated. Evidence from ice-dammed lakes in Taylor
The overall results in this paper afford a background for interpreting the glacial chronology of eastern Taylor Valley and for reconstructing a grounded ice sheet in the overall Ross Embayment at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)
