PRECISION ORBIT DETERMINATION (POD) Since the beginning of the space age the analysis of orbits of artificial satellites has been used as a means to improve or even determine geodetic models. Precision Orbit Determination (POD) requires the use of accurate models for gravity, tides and geodetic reference frames. POD's sensitivity to various types of geodetic information makes it a powerful tool in the refinement of geodetic models. POD is a core capability of the Space Geodesy Laboratory. The GEODYN orbit determination and geodetic parameter estimation software was developed by us for POD analysis and is used for geodetic model refinement (as with the gravity field). Although various research groups at NASA centers and at universities are active in POD analysis, the Space Geodesy Laboratory has retained unique capabilities in this field. These include the ability and expertise to exploit a wide variety of tracking data types and also the ability to combine multiple data types into a single POD solution. Of course, satellite laser ranging SLR ), Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver data and various forms of 2-way and 1-way Doppler (including

Space Geodesy Seth Stein , students, and coworkers are engaged in efforts to understand how global plate motions over geologic time (millions of years) compare with those over a few years measured from space geodesy, and exploring these data's implications for the evolution of the continents. This is being addressed by programs using the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to study the New Madrid seismic zone and Andes . These studies are among the many now using the Global Positioning System satellites and other space-based techniques to measure positions on the earth far more precisely than would have been dreamed possible a few years ago. Before this, geologists could only study the motion of the great plates of Earth's lithosphere (which move at speeds of a few inches per year, about the speed fingernails grow) over periods of millions of years, long enough for large motions to accumulate. Now, however, very precise positioning makes it possible to study plate motions over a period of years. Working with former students A. Newman (now at Georgia Tech), J. Weber (now at Grand Valley State University), J. Engeln (now Assistant Director of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources), and T. Dixon from the University of Miami Geodesy Lab, we conducted a multi-institutional GPS program to quantify the rate and distribution of strain accumulation in the New Madrid, Missouri, seismic zone (NMSZ), where great earthquakes occurred in 1811-1812. This area provides a type example of large earthquakes within a relatively stable continental interior. Assessing the scale and causes of deformation in such regions, as well estimation of the recurrence interval for the large earthquakes within them, has long been recognized as an important but challenging issue, for which the advent of space-based geodesy provides an important new tool.

Linear Algebra, Geodesy, and GPS Gilbert Strang and Kai Borre Published by Wellesley-Cambridge Press Distributed by SIAM “This is an interesting, gently accelerating and useful book on geodesy and GPS that concentrates on space geodetic concepts and algorithms and on the underlying linear algebra. It uses MATLAB, the language of choice for many numerical linear algebraists, to provide sample codes. Many of these codes are of practical utility. This book combines Strang's applied math focus and inimitable writing style (I love it) with Borre's extensive knowledge of physical and geometrical geodesy. Highly recommended!” —From a review on amazon.com Mike Bevis, Honolulu, HI, January 19, 2000 Linear Algebra, Geodesy and GPS discusses algorithms, generally expressed in MATLAB, for geodesy and global positioning. Three parts cover basic linear algebra, the application to the (linear and also nonlinear) science of measurement, and the GPS system and its applications. This book has many strengths. It offers a variety of points of view. It is complete, helpful, and you may find an explanation that appeals to you. About the Author Gilbert Strang is a Professor of Mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an Honorary Fellow of Balliol College, of the University of Oxford, UK. His current research interests include linear algebra, wavelets and filter banks, applied mathematics, and engineering mathematics. He is the author or co-author of six textbooks and has published a monograph with George Fix titled “An Analysis of the Finite Element Method.” Professor Strang served as SIAM’s president from 1999-2000, chaired the US National Committee on Mathematics from 2003–2004, and won the Neumann Medal of the US Association of Computational Mechanics in 2005.

Coordinate and Datum Transformations With this Java application, you can convert between geographic and UTM coordinates, and you can convert coordinates between a variety of geodetic datums. Pay close attention to the error estimates. The tool may display coordinates to millimeter precision, but most datum transformations supported by this application are accurate only to meters or dekameters. Conversions between geographic and UTM coordinates are accurate to centimeters or millimeters. Error values of -1 indicate that no error estimates are available. This is a Java 1.1 application. Some older versions of popular browsers still in use do not support Java 1.1. See the Performance Issues section of the instructions for more information. [The Coordinate and Datum Transformations tool requires a Java 1.1-capable runtime environment.] The previous version of the tool, Version 1.1, is available here If you happen to see curious background color changes (namely between gray and white) in the coordinate entry fields, I'm aware of them. I believe they're harmless but will get the colors to be consistent as soon as I can. If you're using a graphical browser, you may want to display the

Home: Berkeley Seismological Laboratory Next: Active Tectonics of the Up: Ongoing Research Projects Previous: Crustal Deformation Along the Contents Urban Geodesy: Monitoring Active Deformation near the Hayward fault If you need to take measurements in the middle of a busy intersection, or in a stadium that houses thousands of voracious football fans, or even at a freeway offramp in the middle of rush-hour, you need an urban geodesist. And the Hayward fault, which passes through one of the most densely populated strips in California, is a place where urban geodesy is king. Geodesy, the science of surveying and measuring the earth's surface, is one of the many tools used by earthquake scientists to understand the behavior of faults. This paper describes the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory's ongoing effort to use geodesy to monitor the movement of the Hayward fault, as well as some of the challenges introduced by doing science in a densely populated urban region. Hayward Fault GPS Campaign The Hayward fault is unique because it not only produces large earthquakes like the estimated M7 1868 earthquake, but it also slowly slips along in a process called aseismic creep. In recent years, the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory has begun utilizing measurements with the Global Positioning System (GPS) to monitor creep along the Hayward fault. This work will provide an unprecedented spatial resolution of GPS measurements about a creeping fault and should allow us to determine where the fault is creeping, how fast it is creeping, and most importantly, how deep the creep extends. Since aseismic creep relieves stress along the fault, identifying locked patches at depth can give us clues to determine where large earthquakes might eventually nucleate and how big they could be.
