The NSF GAGE Facility operated by EarthScope provides geodetic support to NSF-OPP funded scientific investigators working in the Arctic and Antarctic. Survey grade GPS receivers, terrestrial laser scanners, and supporting power and communications systems for continuous data collection and campaign surveying are available. Operation and maintenance services are also provided for long term data collection, with on-line data distribution from the EarthScope community archive.
Researchers are expected to contact EarthScope to discuss project requirements and obtain a letter of support prior to proposal submission. For additional information regarding available services contact geodetic-instrumentation-helpearthscope.org.
