AKA: PCMSC Base/BM survey

Other ID: none

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s): Other (Other)

Principal Investigator(s): Joshua Logan

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Joshua Logan

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Benchmarks

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Establish network of survey control points using GNSS. Network will be used to establish coordinates of new GNSS CORS Base Station, and for testing of survey equipment and techniques.

Vehicle(s): None

Start Port/Location: Santa Cruz, CA

End Port/Location: Santa Cruz, CA

Start Date: 2018-03-07

End Date: 2018-03-08

Equipment Used: Trimble R7 GPS (AS)

Information to be Derived: Control point coordinates.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Raw GPS observations were collected on existing PCMSC parking lot control points in anticipation of a WCMG base-station antenna reconfiguration (to allow for re-establishing base station coordinates relative to control point network). In the end, the WCMG base station antenna was not moved, so the raw observations on the control points was not needed. The control points have now been disturbed/covered by parking lot re-surfacing. The control points are most likely no longer recoverable.
