Summary: The second season of the TIDES project was focused on the high frequency, fine scale motion of Whillans Ice Stream. I-205 aimed to measure in detail the flow-speed response to tidal forcing by installing 36 GPS receivers on the ice plain of Whillans Ice Stream up to tributaries B2 and B1. Improved knowledge of ice-stream behavior will contribute to researchers' ability to assess the potential for rapid ice-sheet change affecting global sea levels. UNAVCO provided the majority of I-205's pool of GPS receivers with a total of 28 Trimble GPS systems (8 NetRSs, 8 R7s, 4 5700s, 8 4000s).
