education and workforce development with broad societal benefits. As part
of GAGE, UNAVCO operates a large network of geodetic instruments (primarily
GNSS) and a world class data facility and archive. This facility supports a
broad range of applications from the study of plate tectonics and
earthquakes to real-time precise vehicle navigation and fiducial networks.
For over three decades, UNAVCO has spearheaded the utilization of
cutting-edge technologies in geodesy while providing robust operational
support for researchers exploring the solid Earth (earthquakes, volcanoes,
plate tectonics), the hydrosphere (deformation of ice, the Earth's response
