Summary: Dr. Doran returned to measure the positions of ablation stakes on lakes Fryxell, Hoare, and Bonney to help determine the motion of surface ice on these perennially frozen lakes. UNAVCO trained a member of the B-426 team to use the Trimble gear and provided him with a pair of Trimble 5700 GPS systems for his field work. UNAVCO also assisted in field measurements in two locations: Lake Hoare and Lake Vida. Additional support included data processing and data archiving.
