The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses Earth-orbiting satellites to obtain relative movements of ground points accurate to a few millimeters, either through periodically repeated surveys or by continuous measurements at permanent sites [Segall and Davis, 1997]. Satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) uses repeat-pass radar backscatter images of Earth's surface to obtain complete spatial mappings of surface deformation over 100 km \u00d7 100 km scenes to centimeter precision [Massonnet and Feigl, 1998].During the past 5 years GPS and InSAR increasingly have been applied to local studies of active fault zones and volcanic systems, imaging the sources of deformation buried in Earth's crust and quantifying the hazards they pose to society. The potential now exists to deploy these tools to map and monitor all of the actively deforming western United States, and a new scientific initiative with these goals is under active discussion [Silver et al, 1998].", "description": "2 p.", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "American Geophysical Union" }, "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Thatcher, Wayne R. thatcher@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Wayne R.", "familyName": "Thatcher", "email": "thatcher@usgs.gov", "identifier": { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0001-6324-545X", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6324-545X" }, "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Earthquake Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/earthquake-science-center" } ] } ], "funder": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Earthquake Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/earthquake-science-center" } ] }
