From November 6th to the 8th, the 2024-2025 ANET field team met at the EarthScope GAGE facility in Boulder, CO for two and a half days of hands on training. The team practiced important field tasks such as swaping the seismic hard drive to retrieve data, installing and leveling a seismometer, and replacing GNSS antennas and electronic boards. This practical experience is vital to ensure the team can operate smoothly in Antarctica, where conditions are harsh and ground time is short.
