As of August 2022, the project is operating 7 continuous GNSS stations along the Eastern side of the rift system. The sites are: BNZA, BYAH, KANZ, NYBA, RUBO, IWAW, and KMBR. All data are publicly available through the GAGE facility managed by the EarthScope Consortium and processed by routinely by at least two groups. All GNSS data for this experiment are independently processed into daily solutions by two groups.

  1. Time series including rapid (within 2 days) and final products (available within 2 weeks) are available on each station’s status page and processed by Central Washington University. Individual stations are searchable using their above name. Also avialable at the above site are the raw RINEX data files.
  2. Time series for only final products processed are available at the University of Nevada-Reno.
  3. High-Rate GNSS data, primarily useful for identifying data availability are available through the Central Washington GPS Cockpit portal and are searchable using their above name.
  4. Time series and rates are further analyzed by Georgia Tech and are shown below.

The GNSS Velocities:

We utilize these results to calculate station velocities and displacement, and will use them for subsequent characterization of source processes. Results are updated daily.

Daily time series

Below are daily positions and errors showing in a local reference frame determined removing the average daily positions from the 5 eastern-most stations.
