    Unit 4: Groundwater, GPS, and Water Resources part of Measuring the Earth with GPS
    Karen M. Kortz (Community College of Rhode Island) Jessica J. Smay (San Jose City College)
    GPS data can measure ground elevation change in response to the changing amount of groundwater in valleys and snow cover in mountains. In this module, students will learn how to read GPS data to interpret how the ...
