Collaborative Research: GPS Crustal Deformation Monitoring in China

[9037 . 77]海格研究人员计划利用GPS数据测量和解释中国的地壳变形。他们将与中国科学家合作开展“中国地壳运动观测网”项目，分享美国在观测网设计、数据处理、分析和解释方面的专业知识。在接下来的一年里，研究人员将共同分析和解释1998年和1999年收集的中国数据，以评估网络纪念碑的稳定性、数据质量和最佳分析数据的方法。小组成员将访问中国的参与机构，讨论和协调未来在区域和国家层面加强中国地壳运动观测网项目的研究工作。在今年晚些时候举行的美中地球动力学研讨会上，研究人员将与中国同事共同提出未来4年在中国进行GPS数据收集和分析的全面综合计划。

9903777Hager The investigators plan to measure and interpret crustal deformation in China using GPS data. They will collaborate with Chinese scientists on their project "Crustal Motion Observation Network of China", sharing U.S. expertise in network design, data processing, analysis, and interpretation. During the upcoming year the investigators will jointly analyze and interpret the Chinese data collected in 1998 and 1999, to assess the network monument stability, data quality, and approaches to best analyze the data. Team members will visit the participant institutions in China to discuss and coordinate future research efforts to strengthen the Crustal Motion Observation Network of China project at both the regional and national levels. At the time of the US-China Geodynamics Workshop to be held later this year, the investigators will jointly propose with the Chinese colleagues a fully integrated plan for GPS data collection and analysis in China for the next 4 years.
