Summary:
Dr. Connell's group is studying the role yeasts play in the polar desert environment. Their work this season included taking soil samples and installing experiments in Taylor Valley. Meter-level accuracy was required navigating to pre-generated sampling locations and this was achieved using the UNAVCO DGPS system in Taylor Valley. UNAVCO provided one Trimble 4700 RTK system, ancillary equipment and training during the season. The Peak 1882 repeater provided DGPS corrections for the real-time surveys.
