Data Set Name: G-053 2000/01 Investigator: PI: Bernard Hallet POC: Ron Sletten Institution: University of Washington Email: http://depts.washington.edu/qrc/research/research.html (slettenu.washington.edu Web Site: Data Type: Static and kinematic GPS Dates: 12/00 Location: Name: Beacon Valley Coordinates: 77 52 S 160 33 E Radius: 10 km Data Center: Name: UNAVCO URL: www.unavco.org Email: archive-gpsunavco.org Phone: 303-381-7500
Summary: UNAVCO performed a survey to measure surface displacements in Beacon Valley which occur due to sub-surface ice beneath the valley floor. This survey in December 2000 was a repeat of the initial survey from January 1999 and will reveal surface velocities as small as 1 cm/year. Three geodetic receiver systems, field support, data processing, and data archiving were provided. TAMDEF survey mark BEA4 on University Peak was used for the reference receiver location. A brief continuous kinematic survey of frost polygons was also performed as a demonstration of work that can be done in the future.
