Equipment for Glacier Surveying

这项建议是为更新冰川和其他地球物理研究的测量设备而申请的资金。测量是测量冰川速度和应变的基础。这样的测量是华盛顿大学冰川学研究的主要任务之一。测量也被用来定位地球物理仪器和测量地球应变。需要新的设备来支持和补充现有设备，现有设备老化，仅限于一套仪器。现在由NSF/DPP支持的现场计划，预计未来对一套可用的仪器的要求很高，有时甚至相互冲突，如果其中一个组件发生故障，可能会受到干扰。

This proposal is a request for funds to update survey equipment for glacier and other geophysical research. Surveying is basic to measurement of velocity and strain on glaciers. Such measurements are one of the principal thrusts of glaciological research at the University of Washington. Surveying is also used to locate geophysical instruments and for earth strain measurements. New equipment is needed to back up and supplement the existing equipment, which is aging and limited to one set of instruments. Field programs now supported by NSF/DPP and anticipated in the future place high, and sometimes conflicting, demands on the one available set of instruments and are subject to possible disruption if one component fails.
