Description
The 1996-1997 season data includes geodetic and mapping quality GPS data from 19 separate UNAVCO supported Antarctic science projects. Science disciplines supported include geology, geophysics, glaciology, biology, and environmental research. The dataset was last updated on February 5, 1997.
Use Cases
Modeling Antarctic crustal deformation based on geodetic GPS measurements.
Analyzing ice sheet movement and glacial dynamics based on mapping quality GPS data.
Supporting multi-disciplinary environmental research in geology, biology, and geophysics based on the integrated project data.
Strengths
Data from 19 separate Antarctic science projects provides a multi-project perspective.
Covers multiple science disciplines including geology, geophysics, glaciology, biology, and environmental research.
Includes both geodetic and mapping quality GPS data for different precision needs.
