Summary: Slawek Tulaczyc spent time this year mapping elevation change anomalies along the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and studying their correlation to subglacial water movement. In addition to his regular GPS/GNSS Campaign work, Tulaczyk serviced a network of 10 autonomous GPS Systems that he deployed last season, set along the Whillans Ice Stream. One of these systems, a complete MRI kit with Iridium communications plus solar and wind power, provided virtually uninterrupted data throughout the previous austral winter. UNAVCO provided Trimble GPS PPK and RTK instrumentation, training and data archiving services.
