Summary: Field support and two receivers were provided at both the Clark and the Commonwealth glaciers. At both locations a 20-pole array surrounding the present ice core and camp was measured with the rover while a newly-established base marker was measured in nearby bedrock. The base markers were added to the UNAVCO online monument database. The base stations and poles will be measured in future years to determine ice velocities surrounding the cores. The core and velocity data will be used to understand climate variability during the past 2,000 years (late Holocene). UNAVCO also processed and archived the data.
