This is a $339,644.46 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant supports a 3-year research project to measure the seismic moment accumulation rate and crustal strain rate along the San Andreas Fault System using a combination of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The project aims to improve processing methods for ALOS-2 L-band InSAR and Sentinel-1 TOPS-mode InSAR to achieve high-accuracy deformation maps at 500-meter spatial resolution. The expected outcomes include time-dependent earthquake cycle models and wide-area strain rate maps to support seismic hazard assessment in California. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting Scripps' status as a large educational institution. This research project is part of Scripps' broader portfolio of federal grants and contracts supporting oceanographic and Earth science research.
