Summary:
Research assistant Bob Hawley was provided two geodetic receivers to measure vertical offsets between Siple Dome borehole locations. As part of the study of past climatic conditions in Antarctica the researchers are analyzing the temperatures from an array of 200-meter deep boreholes to determine spatial variability of surface temperature in the Siple Dome region during the last few decades. The GPS survey correlates vertical strain in the firn layer from two 100-meter deep boreholes needed to properly interpret the temperature measurements.
