I-196 Hall Data Set Name: I-196 Hall 2008-09 Investigator: PI: Dr. Brenda Hall Institution: University of Maine POC: Dr. Howard Conway Email: conwayess.washington.edu Data Type: Fast Static GPS Dates: 12/1/2008 - 01/28/2009 Location: Name: Scott Glacier Coordinates: 85 45S, 153 0W Radius: 30 km Data Center: Name: GAGE URL: www.unavco.org Email: archive-gpsunavco.org Phone: 303-381-7500
Summary: In a continued effort to reconstruct the glacial history of the Scott Glacier, I-196 again focused on describing the glacier's evolution from the last glacial maximum to the present day. Constraints on the thinning of the Scott Glacier since the last glacial maximum will be used to bracket the timing of the grounding-line retreat past the glacier mouth. This will help establish whether the Holocene retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is ongoing, or if it has ended. For their field season, the team was given 3 Trimble R7/5700's and one Trimble 4700 GPS system.
