Summary: Dr. Sletten and his team set out to test the hypothesis that Dry Valley volcanic ashes are redeposited from older deposits at five sites of key importance for the chronostratigraphy of the Dry Valleys: Beacon/Arena Valley, Rhone Platfrom, Wright Valley, the Labyrinth, and the Asgard Range. UNAVCO provided the group with 2 GPS receivers and terrestrial LiDAR support. Refresher training was provided prior to the team departing McMurdo. Two UNAVCO field engineers spent time in the Beacon Valley to assist with data collection efforts.
