Collaborative Research: GPS Crustal Deformation Monitoring in China

该项目的目的是与中国科学家合作，收集、分析和解释中国地壳变形的大地测量数据。准确的地壳形变信息是了解欧亚大陆东部板块内部动力学的必要条件。调查人员将协助中国实现“中国地壳运动监测网”项目，在该项目下，一个巨大的GPS网络正在建立。该团队将为中方提供网络设计、硬件和软件安装以及数据采集系统自动化方面的咨询和协助。他们还将提供人员培训，并与中国科学家合作，处理和分析今年收集的GPS数据集的初始阶段。这些重要数据将提供给美国科学家。

9805010Shen The purpose of this project is to collaborate with Chinese scientists to collect, analyze, and interpret geodetic data on crustal deformation in China. It is essential to acquire accurate crustal deformation information in order to understand the intra-plate dynamics of the east Eurasia plate. The investigators will assist the Chinese on the realization of their "Crustal Movement Monitoring Network of China" project, under which a huge GPS network is being established. The team will provide consultation and assistance to the Chinese about their network design, hardware and software installation, and automation of the data acquisition system. They will also provide personnel training and work collaboratively with the Chinese scientists to process and analyze the initial phase of the GPS data set being collected this year. These important data will be available to U.S. scientists.
