0321760PrescottDense GPS observations in space and time are resulting in fundamental new discoveries in the earth sciences, discoveries that have an enormous impact on our understanding of global and regional plate tectonic interactions and have implications for mitigating earthquake and volcanic hazards in densely populated regions of the world. Support through this cooperative agreement will provide for the management and operation of the UNAVCO national Global Positioning System (GPS) support facility over a period of four years. The UNAVCO facility has historically provided centralized support to assist the geosciences community with the acquisition, archival, distribution, and application of high-precision GPS data to study solid-Earth processes and hazards through NSF and NASA support. Management responsibility for facility operations will be under UNAVCO, Inc., a recently incorporated (April 2001) and independent 501(c)(3) non-profit research organization.The UNAVCO, Inc. managed facility will provide assistance to researchers in all phases of GPS-facilitated geosciences research including: planning; equipment selection and equipment loans and/or procurement and budgeting assistance for necessary equipment; logistics and field engineering support for the monumentation and commissioning of GPS receivers in either permanent, continuously operated networks (CGPS) or discrete campaign-style occupations of GPS benchmarks; technology development activities; and data security, quality control, retrieval, archiving and analysis. The facility will also support NASA/Solid Earth and Natural Hazards (SENH) program activities and plays a crucial role in monitoring and maintaining a subset of NASA's GPS Global Network (GGN). In the latter, the UNAVCO facility will provide maintenance and security for the continuous operation of a large number of stations within the International GPS Service (IGS) network. The IGS network provides fiducial stations, orbits, and clock estimates for GPS users worldwide. Facility leadership serves as an advocate and technology advisor for high precision GPS research in the earth sciences. The facility will support community involvement in the governance and operation of the facility through providing support for interactions including: an annual community meeting; meetings of the steering committees and support of focused scientific workshops. Educational and outreach (E&O) activities will include the addition of a full time E&O Coordinator and the development of a student intern program. The UNAVCO, Inc. facility and management structure provide NSF and NASA with a single point of contact that allows for effective and accountable management of facility resources. NASA support of this facility will occur via annual interagency transfers through NSF. ***

0321760PRESCOTTDENSE GPS在时空中的观察结果导致地球科学中的新发现，对我们对全球和区域板块构造相互作用的理解产生巨大影响的发现，并对世界繁殖地区密集的地震和火山危害产生影响。通过这项合作协议的支持将为UNAVCO国家全球定位系统（GPS）支持设施的管理和运营提供四年的管理和运营。 UNAVCO设施历来提供了集中的支持，以协助地球科学社区通过NSF和NASA支持来对高精度GPS数据的获取，档案，分发和应用来研究固体地球过程和危害。 设施运营的管理责任将在UNAVCO，Inc。，最近成立的（2001年4月）和独立501（c）（3）非营利性研究组织中。设备选择和设备贷款和/或必要设备的采购和预算援助；物流和现场工程支持在永久性，连续运行的网络（CGP）或GPS基准的离散活动风格的职业中，对GPS接收器进行纪念碑和调试；技术开发活动；以及数据安全，质量控制，检索，归档和分析。 该设施还将支持NASA/固体地球和自然危害（SENH）计划活动，并在监视和维持NASA的GPS全球网络（GGN）的子集中起着至关重要的作用。 在后者中，UNAVCO设施将为国际GPS服务（IGS）网络中大量电台的连续运行提供维护和安全性。 IGS网络为全球GPS用户提供了基准电台，轨道和时钟估计。 设施领导力是地球科学高精度GPS研究的倡导者和技术顾问。 该设施将通过为互动提供支持，包括：年度社区会议；指导委员会的会议和专注的科学研讨会的支持。 教育和外展（E＆O）活动将包括增加全职E＆O协调员以及开发学生实习计划。 UNAVCO，Inc。设施和管理结构为NSF和NASA提供了一个联系点，可有效且负责设施资源。 NASA对该设施的支持将通过每年通过NSF进行年度机构转移。 ***
