Summary: Dr. Sletten returned to the Dry Valleys with the purpose of studying soil dynamics and the movement of salts and subsurface ice at sites of varying ages, ice content, and microclimates. This involved revisiting field sites in the Taylor, Victoria and Beacon Valleys. UNAVCO supplied both GPS and ground based LiDAR along with a Field Engineer to profile polygon features found on the valley floors. UNAVCO provided training, three Trimble 5700 GPS receivers, ground based LiDAR, processing and data archiving.
