Collaborative Research: Fundamental Support for GPS Research - UNAVCO Facilities

博克全球定位系统（GPS）技术可以近实时地确定地球上任何地方的位置，精度在亚厘米范围内。它对地球科学中各种科学问题的理解产生了深远的影响，包括板块运动、地震周期、地壳动力学、火山过程、冰川动力学、海平面变化和大气传感。该奖项为支持地球科学家基于gps的研究所需的部分基础设施提供资金。大学导航星联盟（UNAVCO）在若干领域提供基础设施支持，包括数据存档和数据分析。这项奖励给联合国援助和援助团的成员之一圣地亚哥加利福尼亚大学，它将支助一个区域GPS网的档案数据库，供地球物理研究界联机使用。＊＊＊

9615997 Bock Global Positioning System (GPS) technology allows near real- tine determination of position anywhere on Earth with precision in the sub-centimeter range. It is making a profound impact on understanding of diverse scientific problems in the geosciences, including plate motions, earthquake cycles, crustal dynamics, volcanic processes, glacier dynamics, sea level changes, and atmospheric sensing. This award provides funding to support part of the infrastructure needed for GPS-based studies by earth scientists. The University NAVSTAR Consortium (UNAVCO) provides infrastruacture support in a number of areas, including data archiving and data analysis. This award to the University of California at San Diego, a member of the UNAVCO consortium, will support an archival data base from regional GPS networks that will be available on-line to the geophysics research community. ***
