0200066Herring Funds from this grant will support activities of the newly formed University consortium UNAVCO, Inc. that is a non-profit membership-governed organization, which supports and promotes Earth science by advancing high-precision geodetic and strain techniques such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). Part of the funds will support the operation of the president's office that oversees the financial management of UNAVCO, Inc. and provides a focus for community activities. The remainder of the funds will provide support for planning workshops and studies for the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO), which will provide new insights into earthquake and volcano dynamics in the Western United States and Alaska. The four pre-PBO workshops to be held in 2002 will address the type of instrumentation and monuments to be used in PBO; the coordination of PBO activities in Canada and Mexico; the characteristics of the strainmeters to be used in PBO; and the management structure to be developed for PBO. The study to be funded will address the design criteria to be used in deploying the PBO instrumentation. ***

[200066 . herring]这笔拨款将用于支持新成立的大学联盟UNAVCO， Inc.的活动。UNAVCO, Inc.是一个非营利性的会员制组织，通过推进高精度大地测量和应变技术，如全球定位系统（GPS），来支持和促进地球科学。部分资金将用于支助主席办公室的业务，该办公室负责监督联安援助团有限公司的财务管理，并为社区活动提供重点。其余资金将用于支持板块边界观测站（PBO）的规划讲习班和研究，该观测站将对美国西部和阿拉斯加的地震和火山动态提供新的见解。将于2002年举行的四次PBO前讲习班将讨论PBO中使用的仪器和纪念碑的类型；协调加拿大和墨西哥的项目监督组织活动；PBO中使用的应变仪的特性；PBO的管理结构。获得资助的研究将解决用于部署PBO仪器的设计标准。＊＊＊
