Summary:
Dr. Peter Doran requested GPS support to obtain precise coordinates in support of lake bathymetry surveys and lake perimeter measurements in Taylor, Wright, and Victoria Valleys. Two receivers and data processing software were provided to the S-042 LTER project at Lake Hoare for the entire season, in support of both S-042FO and S-042W requests. UNAVCO provided GPS training to field assistant Camilla Correll at McMurdo immediately prior to the field project, and provided initial assistance with field surveys at Lake Hoare. During the field season, UNAVCO also provided data processing support from McMurdo, providing precise processed benchmark coordinates to the field team during the field season. This support allowed the field team to process data with precise information in the field, eliminating the need to re-process and adjust data after the field season. Project data were archived by UNAVCO at McMurdo.
