Resources & Data
The TO has acquired hardware that is key to the realization of our scientific objectives. This equipment and any data they produce are communal resources for all TO investigators. These include: GIS laboratory, Beowulf computer, Mass Spectrometer, 50 Broadband Seismometers, and Continuous GPS Geodetic Networks.
Source Models of Large
Earthquakes
Rapid estimation of slip maps for selected large earthquakes (Mw>7)
Continuous GPS Arrays
Geodetic networks of continuously recording GPS stations to monitor crustal motion
COSI-Corr
COSI-Corr (Co-registration of Optically Sensed Images and Correlation), is a software package developed with IDL (Interactive Data Language) and integrated under ENVI. It allows for precise ortho-rectification, co-registration and correlation of SPOT and ASTER satellite images as well as aerial photographs.
MASE, VEOX, and CAnTO Peru Seismic Data
MASE is a cooperative project involving Caltech's Tectonics Observatory, UCLA's CENS, Geophysical Institute at UNAM, and the Center for Geosciences at UNAM. The seismic component consisted of 100 broadband seismometers across central Mexico. The array ran from 2005-2007.
VEOX is a follow-on to MASE and crosses southern Mexico just north of the Techauntepec Ridge.
CAnTO Peru is a cooperative project involving Caltech's Tectonics Observatory, UCLA, IRD/Peru, and IGP. It is a set of passive seismic lines to be deployed in southern Peru. The first line was deployed in the summer of 2008.
