Most of the network has finished recording and
been decommissioned, but 11 sites are still logging data!

The
Goal Of This Project is to measure GPS motions in the Rio
Grande Rift to address the following questions:
What controls extension within "narrow" continental rifts and how
does rifting relate to lithospheric heterogeneity?
What earthquake hazard does the Rio Grande Rift pose?
Is deformation steady or episodic?
Does observed Quaternary fault slip agree with geodetic strain rates?
How wide is the rift, and how does strain vary along strike?
How far north has the Rio Grande Rift propagated?
How does rift propagation manifest in Neogene rotation of the Colorado Plateau?
What is the influence of mantle rheology, and
how does deformation style depend on strain rate?
