Continuous GPS Arrays

The Tectonics Observatory is deploying geodetic networks consisting of continuously recording GPS stations to monitor crustal deformation. These networks include sites that are both telemetered on a daily basis through land and satellite links, and manually downloaded several times per year (description).

Maps and live updates:

Baja gps map Baja GPS Array - operated in collaboration with CICESE, Ensenada/Mexico, and USGS/Pasadena

Sumatra gps map Sumatran GPS Array (SuGAr) - operated in collaboration with the Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI) in Bandung, (Indonesia), and Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO/UCSD).
Taiwan gps map Taiwan Geodetic Network - in collaboration with the Institute of Earth Sciences (Academia Sinica). Our stations complement the existing stations operated by IES and the Central Weather Bureau
