This USGS grant, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, is for the critical purpose of upgrading and replacing outdated GPS and strainmeter equipment. These systems are essential for monitoring and reporting on crustal deformation, which is directly linked to earthquake activity across the U.S. The initiative aims to significantly improve the integration of both geodetic and seismic networks. A key objective is the development of advanced real-time and near-real-time geodetic products specifically designed for earthquake monitoring. This grant will support upgrades to existing urban and regional geodetic networks, enhancing the nation’s capacity for timely and accurate earthquake-related data.
