Intellectual Merit
|
We performed campaign GPS surveys in the agricultural areas of the Imperial and Mexicali Valleys to resolve interseismic strain rate and seismic moment accumulation rate on the Imperial and Cerro Prieto Faults. In addition we performed GPS surveys following the M7.2 El Major Cucapah earthquake. These data contribute to the tectonic geodesy models being developed by SCEC. |
Broader Impacts
|
The GPS surveys are performed as part of an annual field class taught by Yuri Fialko, David Sandwell, and Rob Mellors at San Diego State University. This provides field training for both graduate and undergraduate students. |
