Equipment acquired for the new PAGA CGPS network
Five continuous GPS systems have been acquired for the new Puna Andes GPS Array (PAGA), which will be located in NW Argentina. Site reconnaissance is schedule for this May. Site installation is scheduled for late 2008. The PAGA GPS project represents the GPS component of the larger interdisciplinary COSA (Convergent Orogenic System Analysis) project, a collaboration between ExxonMobil and the Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona. |
Installation of the first ADVANCE continuous GPS stations
The first five continuous GPS stations of the ADVANCE CGPS network were installed during the summer of 2007. The network will determine secular deformation rates for studies of the elastic strain rate field associated with ongoing Adria-Dinarides collision, and time dependent deformation associated with slow slip events on the Adria thrust décollement. |  |

| As of August 2007, the CHIL network has grown to nine continuous GPS stations. Six more stations are planned for August 2008. Current status of continous GPS network in Iceland |  Enlarge Map |
Joshua Tree Integrated GPS Network celebrates 2.5 year birthday
The Joshua Tree GPS network has reached the 2.5 years mark, and is now producing high precision velocity results. This project intends to gain a better understanding of how strain is distributed from the southern San Andreas fault system to the eastern California shear zone, through the park. |  |
