UNAVCO Polar Support Offers Scientists a New Look at Glaciology
March 31, 2009
New advances in understanding the dynamics of ice sheets in the most remote polar regions of the world have been made possible by technological advances in GPS systems. Eight new GPS stations, designed and built by UNAVCO as a result of the 3 year NSF funded Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Project Collaborative Research: Development of a Power and Communication System for Remote Autonomous GPS and Seismic Stations in Antarctica, were recently deployed on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and the Antarctic Plateau as part of 5 high-profile glaciological research projects.
