Project goals: Resolve the distribution of slip and description of strain transfer from the southern San Andreas fault system into the eastern California shear zone, through the application of a dense campaign-style GPS network. This transfer of strain appears to be localized in the region encompassed by Joshua Tree National Park.

Network details: JOIGN consists of 12 max mount-type monuments installed by the University of Arizona, as well as 14 NGS benchmarks within the park region.
 
Project details: Installation and first occupation of monuments occured in Fall of 2005, and has occured tri-annually (typically February, May, and September) through to the present. All stations were installed and observed at least once by the completion of the September 2006 campaign.
