Collaborative Research: Fundamental Support for GPS Research - UNAVCO Facilities

小行星9813700 全球定位系统（GPS）技术允许以亚厘米范围的精度在地球上的任何地方进行近实时的位置确定。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。该奖项提供资金，以支持地球科学家基于GPS的研究所需的部分基础设施。大学导航卫星联合会在若干领域提供基础设施支助，包括数据存档和数据分析。该奖项授予UNAVCO联盟成员之一的加州大学圣地亚哥分校，将支持区域GPS网络的档案数据库，该数据库将在线提供给地球物理研究界。 ***

9813700 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 infrastructure 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. ***
