GNSS Data Processing and Analysis with GAMIT/GLOBK and track

GNS Science, Lower Hutt, New Zealand (26 February–2 March 2018)

This workshop was led by Dr (MIT).

We required participants to complete prerequisite tasks before attending this workshop, including reading through the Introduction to GAMIT/GLOBK (more detailed reference manuals for GAMIT and GLOBK are also provided), installing the software and at least working through the example. Please contact your registered institutional representative for the current username and password to chandler.mit.edu, or if your institution is not licensed to use GAMIT/GLOBK, to download the latest release of GAMIT/GLOBK.

We also provided some introductory lecture material, which we did not present explicitly during this workshop, that is helpful nevertheless for becoming acquainted with command-line systems, installing GAMIT/GLOBK and recommendations for directory structures; reiterating details of the GAMIT/GLOBK example; and preparing raw GNSS data for use with GAMIT/GLOBK:
