Summary: Mark Lavelle requested GPS support in the New Harbor region as part of reconnaissance work for the Antarctic Drilling Project (ANDRILL), a major international drilling initiative that is scheduled to begin in 2003. Information about the seafloor basement was gathered from active seismology, and GPS was used to determine the hydrophone locations. Sea ice movement was documented over several weeks to understand stresses to which the drill bit will be exposed. UNAVCO provided two Trimble 4700 GPS receivers and ancillary equipment, in-field training, processing training, and archiving for this project.
