Byrd Glacier processed geodetic grounding line data
This dataset is from field work conducted at Byrd Glacier, East Antarctica. Global positioning system (GPS) receivers were deployed over the trunk of the glacier as well as two additional units over subglacial lakes in the catchment basin. The dataset here covers two regions. The first is the ground...

This dataset is from field work conducted at Byrd Glacier, East Antarctica. Global positioning system (GPS) receivers were deployed over the trunk of the glacier as well as two additional units over subglacial lakes in the catchment basin. The dataset here covers two regions. The first is the grounding line where nine receivers were positioned about the grounding line to identify where tidal flexure was occurring during the 2011/12 Austral summer. The second region is Byrd Glacier's catchment basin where two subglacial lakes are hypothesized to be situated. A GPS receiver was deployed on each and the data available here covers the timeline of February 2011 to the end of January 2013. The map included with the downloadable files highlights the locations of the sites. The deployment sites were equipped with Trimble NetR9, 5700, or R7 receivers with Trimble Zephyr antennae.
