North American model boundary is fixed, while the Pacific boundary is constrained to move at the full PA-NA rate. The Sierra Nevada - Great Valley microplate (SNGV) and Juan de Fuca plate (JdF) are modeled as rigid entities within the deforming grid. Black lines are Quaternary faults. Colors indicate second invariant of strain rate tensor field. Grey arrows are interpolated model velocities relative to North America. QCI, Queen Charlotte Islands. B: Contours of the dilatational strain rates. Red and blue colors indicate extension (i.e., area growth) and contraction (i.e., area reduction), respectively. The gray lines divide the plate boundary into four zones (results for specific zones are published in article). Dashed green lines are trajectories along (averaged) minimum principal stress observations for the greater Basin and Range Provice (Humphreys and Coblentz, 2007).

Overview Applications Ocean Ice ... Tsunami 1.1.2. Geodesy Geodesy is the science of the Earth's shape and size. Altimetry makes it possible to compute Mean Sea Surface; such a surface includes the geoid, i.e. the shape of the sea surface, assuming a complete absence of any perturbing forces (tides, winds, currents, etc.). The geoid reflects the Earth's gravitational field. It varies in height by as much as 100 metres over distances of several thousand kilometres due to uneven mass distribution within the planet's crust, mantle and core. Other less pronounced irregularities are also visible over smaller distances. These mostly reflect the ocean bottom topography. Mean Sea Surface, representing the sea level resulting from constant phenomena, computed from 10 years of altimetry data. This Mean Sea Surface is shaped by permanent ocean currents and, above all, by the gravity field. Differences below the surface of the Earth (for example, variations in magma temperature) can generate sea level variations of over 100 metres between two ocean regions thousands of kilometres apart. At smaller scales (a few kilometres), we can also observe on this surface (highlighted here so as to be visible) the influence of ocean floor topography (see bathymetry ) which causes variations of several metres at the ocean surface.

Home Contact Information Site Map Geodesy What is Geomatics Engineering? Student Information Research Activities People ... Useful LInks Friedrich Robert Helmert (1843 - 1917) from: Friedrich Robert Helmert: "Akademie - Vorträge" S.3 The Greek origin of the word geodesy means " to divide the Earth " . This definition indicates that geodesy is historically tightly linked to mapping and surveying. But it also reflects that geodesy touches on legal and planning aspects. In the late 19th century, F.R. Helmert narrowed the definition of geodesy down to " the science of measurement and mapping of the Earth's surface ". Although this definition may seem short, it is fundamental, even to modern geodesy. It comprises a geometrical component on any scale. Thus classical surveying, positioning and navigation, measurement of deformation from plate tectonics or earthquakes, sea-level determination from satellite altimetry all fit into the framework of geodesy. The geometrical component may be time-dependent, as becomes clear from these examples

PORTS (R) Charting and Geodesy Nearly 80 percent of U.S. overseas trade by volume travels into and out of the country through our nation’s nearly 400 ports. Waterborne cargo alone contributes more than $742 billion to the U.S. Gross Domestic Product and is responsible for more than 13 million jobs. Ensuring that the maritime commerce system is able to operate requires detailed, accurate and up-to-date maps and charts of U.S. waterways. President Thomas Jefferson understood the value of safe, efficient marine transportation when he created the nation’s first scientific agency, the Survey of the Coast in 1807. The Survey, now known as the Office of Coast Survey   is an integral part of NOAA’s overall mission to support the nation's commerce with information for safe, efficient and environmentally sound transportation. The Office of Coast Survey works closely with NOAA’s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations to chart the 3.4 million square nautical miles in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone.

Preparedness Tectonic Geodesy Tectonic Geodesy The broad objective of the geodesy group is to foster the availability of the variety of geodetic data collected in Southern California and the integrated use of these observations, in conjunction with other relevant data (e.g., seismic or geologic information), to address the spectrum of deformation processes which affect this region. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, rapid earthquake response, transient deformation, long-term strain accumulation, and nontectonic effects, which appear in geodetic data. Proposed work may overlap with one or more focus areas, such as Crustal Deformation Modeling (CDM) The following are research strategies aimed at meeting the broad objective: Increase the usability of high-rate GPS observations by developing community-accessible tools for processing these data. Such tools can address different goals including immediate response to major earthquakes (for which rapid availability of solutions is a priority) or detailed deformation analysis (for which the highest accuracy solutions are needed) (

Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera Geodesy Campaign Mosaic This mosaic was assembled from Wide Angle red images (primarily those acquired in May-June 1999) from the Mars Orbiter Camera. The mosaic has been produced at 64 and 256 pixels/degree. In the initial release, all quadrangles were complete except for the polar regions (MC-01 and MC-30) and areas on quads MC-24 through MC-29 south of 60S. The south polar coverage was completed in February 2002 (mapping cycle E13) and the polar quads updated in August 2004. The band of latitude between 60S and 65S still needs to be reprocessed. here For access to the mosaic, see the table below, or click on a region of interest in the image map at the bottom of the page.
