Summary: Dr. Kyle requested UNAVCO support for both campaign and permanent station GPS activities on Mt. Erebus as a means to carefully monitor the deformation of the volcano from internal magma dynamics. Training, two Trimble 5700/R7 systems, data processing and archiving were provided to the field team for mapping activities along seismic shot lines and campaign occupations. The TLS LiDAR scanner was used to scan a time series of the lava lake within the main caldera. Despite difficulties with weather and visibility within the crater, the scanning was deemed successful. UNAVCO also performed maintenance to two of three permanent GPS systems on Erebus. The Trimble R7 data card at Abbott Peak was swapped out at the end of the season and the data...[?]
