Dominica Field Photos June 2001

These photos were taken during a joint University of Arkansas, Cal State San Bernardino, University of Miami, Rosenstiel School field campaign to initiate GPS measurements in southern Dominica. In addition to GPS observations on 9 sites, we also completed field mapping and sampling of Quaternary volcanic deposits.

GPS Training UARK June 2003

These photos were taken during a one-day training session at the University of Arkansas in which the student participants from the Department of Geosciences were trained to acquire geodetic quality GPS observations. Primary instruction was by UARK graduate students Anita Stone, Liz Van Boskirk, Shane Matson, and Henry Turner. Arkansas-Oklahoma Space Center REU students John Mischler and Jon McBee also participated in the training.

Dominica Photos June 2003

These photos were taken during a joint University of Arkansas and Cal State San Bernardino prototype REU field camp lead by Dr. Glen S. Mattioli and Dr. Alan L. Smith. The 9 GPS sites initially installed and occupied in June 2001 were re-occupied and 3 additional sites were installed. Fumerole and adjacent stream temperature and pH were measured and water samples were obtained for oxygen isotopic analysis. Additional field checking was completed to enhance and verify the soon to be published geologic map of Smith and colleagues.
