This is a $468,288.56 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to measure tectonic crustal strain rates along the San Andreas Fault system using a combination of InSAR and GNSS data. The goal is to accurately forecast large-scale geological hazards in a socially relevant timeframe by achieving an average velocity accuracy of 0.5 mm/yr over 10 km. This will require applying several corrections to the InSAR data, including solid...
This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to investigate post-seismic creep and evolving hazard on adjacent faults in Haiti using InSAR data from recent earthquakes. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting Scripps' status as a large educational institution. Scripps is a division of UCSD and a renowned center for ocean and earth science...
