Summary: UNAVCO supplied two Trimble 4800 GPS systems, data processing software, in-field training, and data processing support to co-PI Ed Adams. The equipment was used in kinematic mode, and the sled mounted rover unit was towed across several profiles of Lake Bonney to digitize the wind-blown surface roughness of the lake ice and provide a surface measurement method of ice thickness. Repeat surveys are planned for future seasons to attempt to measure the effect of surface topography on annual lake ice melting which directly affects the lake biosystem. One existing benchmark at the Lake Bonney camp was surveyed and added to the UNAVCO benchmark. The project data are archived at UNAVCO. |
