Summary: Dr. Hamilton was provided four GPS receivers and a GPSurvey equipped data processing computer to measure ice sheet displacements at various locations. The equipment was divided between two independent field teams working on the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet and on the Polar Plateau. Training and direct support were not necessary due to the field team's experience. During the project, a receiver swap was arranged to replace an inoperative, cold soaked receiver on the Polar Plateau with a spare receiver from the McMurdo pool. The GPS data were archived by UNAVCO upon project completion.
