Summary:
Seven GPS receivers, including a new 5700 system, and training were provided to ITASE GPS manager Gordon Hamilton. The equipment was used extensively to locate the traverse path and radar pulses, and for campaign surveys of Ian Whillans' "coffee can" sites that estimate accumulation rates at various locations around the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The project GPS data were archived after the field season. UNAVCO also provided two receivers to Gordon Hamilton after the field season to integrate GPS and ground penetrating radar (GPR) data streams in preparation for next season's ITASE traverse.
