Upgrade of GPS Receiver Capability at LDEO

小行星9406063 该奖项提供了购买新一代全球定位系统（GPS）接收器所需资金的一半。这些接收器将由哥伦比亚大学的拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球观测站购置，主要由该大学的地球物理学家用于大地测量领域的活动。联合国大学承诺提供购置这一设备所需的剩余资金。 新一代全球定位系统接收器的研究应用将包括测量主要断层系统的应变场、沿着阿拉斯加半岛的海平面监测和地震应变测量，以及与南极洲航空地球物理观测（重力场和磁场）有关的精确定位。 ***

9406063 Beavan This award provides one-half the funding necessary to acquire new generation receivers for use with the Global Positioning System (GPS). The receivers will be acquired by Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and will be used primarily by its geophysicists in geodetic field campaigns. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for this equipment acquisition. Research applications for the new generation GPS receivers will include measurement of strain fields across major fault systems, sea level monitoring and seismogenic strain measurements along the Alaska Peninsula, and precise positioning associated with airborne geophysical observations (gravity and magnetic field) in Antarctica. ***
