Summary: Dr. Wilson's group is studying the crustal motions around the Ross Sea area associated with glacio-isostatic adjustment (uplift or subsidence resulting from unloading or loading of crust by glaciers) and with active rifting of the Terror rift system. This group's application demands the highest possible precision possible with GPS. UNAVCO provided 15 Trimble 5700/R7 GPS receivers for campaign measurements and three receivers (Trimble NetRS, 5700, and R7) for winter-over sites. Additionally, UNAVCO worked with the G-079 team members to substantially upgrade these three continuously operating sites. Upgrades included additional battery banks, increased solar power capacity, improved power control systems, and installation of more robust monumentation. The telemetry of these sites was also improved. Serial radio links were installed at the Cape Roberts and Mount Fleming sites, with telemetry to McMurdo via a repeater at Truncated Cones on Mt. Erebus. This repeater was installed during the 2004-05 season, and received a serial repeater radio this season. The site at Fishtail Point received an upgraded Iridium modem system. Communications systems for these three winterover stations were thoroughly tested at the newly-installed test platform at McMurdo prior to deployment to the field. |
