Comparing recent GPS data with a longer record of sea level along the western coast of North America allows researchers to home in on interseismic deformation above the Cascadia megathrust.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
At a time when more geological data about the Moon are available than ever before, USGS scientists have created a one-stop shop where everyone, including the public, can see how it all fits together.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
A new analysis technique could help scientists improve the temporal resolution of satellite gravity data and see trends in terrestrial water storage and movement in near real time.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Basin-wide ocean gyres have been observed to be slowly migrating toward the poles and, although natural variations contribute, climate simulations suggest the shift is in response to global warming.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Researchers used the largest GPS data set yet to examine deformation of the crust across continental China and its implications for tectonic activity.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Earth’s faults slip most catastrophically as earthquakes. The rise of geodesy reveals an array of slower slip events, meaning faults are nearly always active. Are these behaviors really so different?Read More »Geology & Geophysics
From new techniques in geodesy to the scientific culture we want to create, let’s start our next century together by assessing how we measure what’s most important.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Linking an existing network of radio telescopes with satellite radar would make it possible to measure ground displacements in a globally consistent way, scientists propose.Read More »
