Summary: Dr. Kyle requested UNAVCO support for both campaign and permanent station GPS activities on Mt. Erebus to measure the deformation of the volcano caused by the migration of magma. Two Trimble 4700 receivers were provided to the field team for mapping activities and campaign occupations. UNAVCO also continued involvement in maintenance of the permanent GPS network on Erebus. The Trimble NetRS at site CONZ was replaced, modifications were made to its ethernet data link, and the power system was improved. The Trimble R7 receiver at Abbott Peak was retrieved and downloaded, then replaced by another Trimble R7 for operation during winter 2006. Data from the seven telemetered Erebus permanent stations are downloaded daily to McMurdo Station, and transferred to the UNAVCO data archive where they are on-line and publicly available. GPS data collected since 1999 show displacements on the order of millimeters per year. (Photo courtesy George Steinmetz) |
