Support for UNAVCO, Inc. and Pre-Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) Planning Activities

0200066 Herring这笔赠款的资金将用于支持新成立的联合国大学联合会的活动。该组织是一个非营利的成员制组织，通过推进全球定位系统等高精度大地测量和应变技术，支持和促进地球科学。 部分资金将用于支助负责监督联刚特派团财务管理的主席办公室的运作。并为社群活动提供焦点。 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，这将为美国西部和阿拉斯加的地震和火山动力学提供新的见解。 将于2002年举办的四个PBO前讲习班将讨论PBO中使用的仪器和纪念碑的类型; PBO在加拿大和墨西哥活动的协调; PBO中使用的应变计的特性;以及PBO的管理结构。 将获得资助的研究将解决部署PBO仪器时使用的设计标准。***

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. ***
