Summary: The B-017 research team requested a survey of their field site "Weddell World", where they study the underwater behavioral and energetic adaptations of a captive Weddell seal foraging in the Antarctic fast-ice environment. GPS was used to obtain sub-meter positions of seal dive holes, camp buildings, the nearby McMurdo Ice Shelf transition, and the road leading to Weddell World. UNAVCO provided field support, data processing, and data archiving for this project, which was performed with the new Trimble 4700 receiver system. These coordinates will be used for mapping purposes, and geo-reference the specific research sites so they can be recovered in future seasons. |
