Project Highlights 2006 - Socorro Survey Training

A 17-person, 2.5-day course was taught by UNAVCO at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) in Feb-March 2006. The class was a hands-on introduction to scientific surveying using UNAVCO GPS equipment, specifically, Topcon GB-1000 receivers. Static, fast static, post-processing kinematic, and real-time kinematic techniques were covered. The purpose of the class was to familiarize participants with the capabilities of GPS, as well as to provide practical instruction in using the instruments for individual field projects. Similar classes can be provided elsewhere by UNAVCO upon request. Request Support if interested.
