Summary:
After last field season, UNAVCO worked with ASA surveyor Jeff Scanniello and SPAWAR to specify new GPS survey equipment (Trimble 4800) for the ASA survey department. This equipment, needed by ASA to meet more stringent runway survey requirements, was selected based on suitability for the surveyors, compatibility with UNAVCO pool equipment (to facilitate sharing of resources), and compatibility with the UNAVCO DGPS system. UNAVCO also purchased the necessary equipment to leave the DGPS base station operational year round. Bjorn Johns accompanied Scanniello to McMurdo at WINFLY to set up the DGPS base and support the initial ice runway surveys, using GPS for the first time. With the DGPS base station now in place, it can be utilized for future surveys without UNAVCO personnel at McMurdo. UNAVCO also provided equipment and assistance for surveying the edge of the McMurdo Ice Shelf using GPS from a helicopter.
