1. Processing and Analysis of GeoEarthscope and Other Community LiDAR Topography Datasets April 30 - May 1, 2008 Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ Christopher Crosby – San Diego Supercomputer Center J Ramon Arrowsmith – Arizona State David A. Phillips - UNAVCO

2. EarthScope Funded by NSF and conducted in partnership with the USGS and NASA EarthScope Facility –Seismic observatory (USArray) –The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) –Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) “EarthScope is a bold undertaking to apply modern observational, analytical and telecommunications technologies to investigate the structure and evolution of the North American continent and the physical processes controlling earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.”

3. Includes acquisition of aerial and satellite imagery and geochronology. Part of the EarthScope Facility project funded by NSF (MREFC). Managed at UNAVCO. Assist with EarthScope instrument siting. Examine strain field at different temporal/spatial scales than geodetic & seismic instrumentation. Data will be freely available. GeoEarthScope
