New hurricane-resistant GPS station design was tested by Hurricane Melissa
Could it survive a category 5 storm?
Quite accomplished for a 22-year-old: celebrating the Network of the Americas
It’s been 22 years since the NSF first funded an ambitious project to build a large-scale geodetic network we now know as the Network of the Americas. As the NSF GAGE facility award reaches its end, it’s worth looking back at how we got here.
Strainmeters and GNSS stations reveal subtle fault movements after the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake
When we experience a significant earthquake—along with any foreshocks or aftershocks associated with it—the shaking is hard to ignore. But there are also subtle movements afterward we may only notice with the help of precision instruments.
