A sledged GPS rover antenna to monitor small glaciers in Antarctica

Results from analysis of kinematic global positioning system (GPS) surveying in Antarctica are examined to evaluate the feasibility of this technique for monitoring small glaciers. The experiment focuses on GPS field methods and a comparison of profiles surveyed in different years. Kinematic GPS has...

Description
Summary:Results from analysis of kinematic global positioning system (GPS) surveying in Antarctica are examined to evaluate the feasibility of this technique for monitoring small glaciers. The experiment focuses on GPS field methods and a comparison of profiles surveyed in different years. Kinematic GPS has proved to be a useful method of monitoring glacier surfaces.
