Summary:
As part of their LTER research, John Priscu and Ed Adams are studying how ablation relates to the surface roughness of Lake Bonney in Taylor Valley. They requested that UNAVCO perform continuous kinematic surveys along several transects to collect this type of data. Surveys were performed at two different times during the season, one in late November 2000 and one in late January 2001. The survey was performed for the first time in November 1998. Repeat surveys provide insight into annual and seasonal variation in surface roughness as well as lake level. In each case, a Trimble 4700 was used as a rover and a Trimble 4000 was used as a base station. UNAVCO provided field support, data processing, and data archiving.
