Acquisition of Ultraprecise Total Station Surveying System for Monitoring Earth Deformation and Conducting Precise Surveys of Geologic Investigation Sites

9304047约翰逊 该奖项提供了购买超精密测量系统或“全站仪”所需资金的68%，该系统将由普渡大学地球与大气科学系的首席研究员及其同事和学生使用。该大学致力于提供收购所需的剩余资金。 全站仪系统将电子经纬仪和电子测距装置与计算机处理相结合，在x，y，z几何参考系中建立测绘控制点，用于创建亚毫米精度的详细地质图。 ***

9304047 Johnson This award provides 68 percent of the funding required for the acquisition of an ultra-precise surveying system or "total station" that will be used by the Principal Investigator and colleagues and students in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Purdue University. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the acquisition. The total station system combines an electronic theodolite and an electronic distance measurement device with computer processing to establish mapping control points in an x, y, z geometric reference frame for creating detailed geologic maps with sub- millimeter precision. ***
