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 upgraded his network of 10 autonomous GPS Systems set along the Whillans Ice Stream to Trimble NetRS recievers.  As part of the upgrade, a second one of these systems was upgraded to a cGPS site including Iridium communications plus extra solar and wind power to eep it operational through the winter months.  UNAVCO also provided Trimble campaign GPS PPK instruments, training and data archiving services.
