IGPP Virtual Seminar Series: Surui Xie

IGPP is pleased to invite you to join the final event for its Fall 2020 Virtual Seminar Series. The final virtual seminar of 2020 will feature IGPP post-doc, Surui Xie will "Shallow Water Seafloor Geodesy: GPS on An Anchored Spar Buoy" via Zoom on Tuesday, December 1, 2020, starting at 12:00pm.  The seminar will be hosted on Zoom link here (password = seafloor). 

Date: Tuesday, December 1, 2020
Time: 12:00 pm, Pacific Time

Note: This meeting will be recorded. Please make sure that you are comfortable with this before registering.

Abstract: High precision space geodetic techniques have been widely used in earth deformation studies. However, many large earthquakes and most tsunamis occur at subduction zones, where the critical region of strain accumulation and release lies offshore but is poorly monitored. Existing seafloor geodetic techniques tend to be expensive and difficult to obtain long-duration continuous measurements in this technically challenging environment. In this talk I will introduce a shallow water seafloor geodetic system that is capable of measuring three-component seafloor motion with centimeter precision. I will also report the results and some lessons we learnt from our experiment conducted in the Tampa Bay, Florida.
