This last summer season saw VUWAE's twelfth season of fieldwork in the Ross Dependency. This year, VUWAE undertook four projects:
1.investigation of Beacon Group stratigraphy and paleontology between the Boomerang and Olympus Ranges (McKelvey, Webb, Gorton, Kohn);
2.gathering heat-flow measurements from the floor of McMurdo Sound, along the west coast of Ross Island, undertaken by Jim Cousins;
3.investigation of Quaternary stratigraphy in Wright and Taylor Valleys, a project started last summer by Professor Wellman and Mr Vucetich and continued this summer by Burt Murrell;
4.investigation of meltwater channels, deltas, and alluvial fans by Russell Blong.

All projects were successfully completed. A short report on each project is presented by project leaders in subsequent pages.
