I need to obtain accurate vertical heights of dipwells in a peatland for a PhD project. Unfortunately peat has a habit of expanding anc contracting dpendign how much rain has fallen, so I need to re-take these heights regularly. My budget doesn't run to a RTK system, so I was wondering if it might be possible to reference heights taken on my Trimble GeoXt 2005 against a known fixed (non-peat) height taken with a RTK system? The fixed height would consist of a pole driven throught the peat into the underlying mineral base which has been marked. If I were to check the height on the GeoXT could I use the height difference to correct the GeoXt's heights?
Hope this isn't a really dumb question!
Thanks
