Summary: LARISSA: Larsen Ice Shelf System, Antarctica is a National Science Foundation funded initiative that brings an international, interdisciplinary team together to address a significant regional problem with global change implications, the abrupt environmental change in Antarctica's Larsen Ice Shelf System. As part of this effort, three bedrock CGPS stations were installed along the western side of the Peninsula in April 2009 to measure post-glacial rebound to help reconstruct the detailed configuration of the northern Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and subsequent retreat (Figure 5). Six more CGPS sites will be installed in early 2010 - three on bedrock on the east (Weddell Sea) side of the Peninsula, and three on outlet glaciers from the Bruce Plateau. The bedrock CGPS stations are also a part of the POLENET IPY project.
