Summary:
Support was provided to obtain precise coordinates for survey reference marks at both the Beardmore Glacier and Elephant Moraine research areas. These reference marks are used as geo-referenced GPS control points for local surveys of meteorite locations in the area, allowing the meteorite spatial data to be used in a GIS database. The stake coordinates also provide ice velocity information when re-surveyed at future site visits. Field researcher John Schutt received a brief training at McMurdo and was provided two geodetic receivers. The Elephant Moraine data were archived and processed by UNAVCO after the field season using the JPL Auto-GIPSY point-positioning automated data processing service.
