EarthScope
• Funded by NSF and conducted in partnership with the USGS and NASA
• EarthScope Facility– Seismic observatory (USArray)
– The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) – Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)
“EarthScope is a bold undertaking to apply modern observational, analytical and telecommunications technologies to investigate the structure and evolution of the North American continent and the physical processes controlling earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.”

• Includes acquisition of aerial and satellite
imagery and geochronology.
• Part of the EarthScope Facility project
funded by NSF (MREFC).
• Managed at UNAVCO.
• Assist with EarthScope instrument siting.
• Examine strain field at different
temporal/spatial scales than geodetic &
seismic instrumentation.
• Data will be freely available.

UNAVCO
• UNAVCO is a membership-governed
consortium that supports and
promotes Earth science by advancing
high-precision techniques for the
measurement and understanding of
deformation
• UNAVCO is funded by NSF and NASA
• UNAVCO Facility supports PI projects
• UNAVCO is constructing the
EarthScope PBO
• UNAVCO manages GeoEarthScope
• UNAVCO hosts WInSAR
• UNAVCO is based in Boulder, CO, with
five regional offices to construct PBO
