GNSS Data Processing and Analysis with GAMIT/GLOBK and TRACK

UNAVCO Headquarters, Boulder, Colorado, USA (24–28 August 2020)

[Held online only due to COVID-19]

This workshop will be led by Prof. and Dr (MIT).

Original information for this course, including the announcement and description, is on UNAVCO's web site.

We required participants to complete prerequisite tasks before being accepted to this course, 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 provide some introductory lecture material, which we will not present explicitly during this course, that is helpful nevertheless for becoming acquainted with command-line systems, installing GAMIT/GLOBK and recommendations for directory structures, and preparing raw GNSS data for use with GAMIT/GLOBK:

We highly recommend reading through these lectures before participating in this course.
