Description
The 1997/1998 season data collection includes geodetic and mapping quality GPS data from 23 separate UNAVCO-supported Antarctic science projects. The data supports research in geology, geophysics, glaciology, biology, and environmental science. It was last updated on February 5, 1998.
Use Cases
Analyzing Antarctic crustal deformation based on geodetic GPS data.
Mapping glacier flow and ice sheet dynamics based on GPS positioning data.
Supporting geological field surveys based on mapping-quality GPS coordinates.
Conducting environmental and biological research based on spatial location data.
Strengths
Data from 23 distinct Antarctic science projects provides multiple research perspectives.
Includes both geodetic and mapping quality GPS data for different precision needs.
Supports interdisciplinary research across geology, geophysics, glaciology, biology, and environmental science.
