Summary: UNAVCO provided five geodetic quality receivers and a GPSurvey data processing hardware key to co-PI Gordon Hamilton for snow surface measurements on the U.S. component of the International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE) traverse on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The aim of this traverse is to develop a better understanding of the last 200 years of West Antarctic climate and environmental change through multidisciplinary research. Interference cause by the field team's Iridium telephone on the Tucker Snow Cat mounted GPS was tested and verified at McMurdo Station to determine a safe distance from which the satellite telephone could be used while collecting GPS data.
