Summary: Three geodetic quality receivers, a field computer, and data processing software were provided for mapping tephra layers in the summit crater of Mount Moulton. One receiver, a new backpack mounted Trimble 4700, was especially well suited for this application due to its improved user interface, portability, and smaller battery requirement. The tephra layers in the horizontally exposed section of ice range from 15,000 to 480,000 years in age, and were sampled for geochemical analysis. UNAVCO provided training at McMurdo, and post processing support after the field season using both Trimble GPSurvey and the JPL Auto-GIPSY data processing service.
