Summary: GPS support was requested to continue an ice stream velocity survey on Ice Stream C. A profile across the southern shear margin was surveyed during the 1996-97 season. Results from that survey raised scientific questions of the ice stream behavior across the northern shear margin, which was measured this season. Training on GPS field procedures and full field support was provided. In November a velocity profile line of evenly spaced stakes was placed and surveyed using the rapid static technique. A long baseline tie was made between McMurdo and Ice Stream C to establish absolute reference coordinates for the project. The survey was repeated in January to measure stake displacements. Data archiving and all data processing were completed by GAGE. |
