9615640 Miller This award supports two-thirds of the cost of installing a network of continuously recording Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers in the state of Washington for the purpose of measuring ground motion associated with subduction zone tectonics, volcanic activity, and earthquakes. The Principal Investigator will coordinate the installation and operation of the network from Central Washington University. Central Washington University is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for the project. The basic research goal of the measurements to be taken by the network is an understanding of the processes leading to deformation of the continental crust in the Pacific Northwest region due to the combination of forces from the oblique subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate, the entrainment of the Sierra Nevada-Oregon Coast Range block, and the local forces created by the topographic gradient from the Basin and Range to the Columbia Basin. The network is also expected to provide important data for improved assessment of the seismic and volcanic risk in the region. ***

9615640米勒 该合同支持在华盛顿州安装一个连续记录全球定位系统（GPS）接收器网络的三分之二费用，该网络用于测量与俯冲带构造、火山活动和地震有关的地面运动。主要研究者将协调中央华盛顿大学网络的安装和运行。中央华盛顿大学承诺提供该项目所需的剩余资金。该网络进行测量的基本研究目标是了解由于胡安·德富卡板块的斜向俯冲、内华达山脉-俄勒冈海岸山脉板块的卷吸、以及从盆地和山脉到哥伦比亚盆地的地形梯度产生的局部力。预计该网络还将为更好地评估该区域的地震和火山风险提供重要数据。 ***
