Geodetic monitoring of 2006 Cascadia episodic tremor and slip

In anticipation of the autumn, 2006 northern Cascadia slow slip event, this page integrates daily GPS measurements from 22 relevant stations near the Strait of Juan de Fuca, as well as roughly another hundred from areas to the south.  Cleaned network solutions from several  arrays are merged below. These include the Pacific Northwest Geodetic Array, EarthScope's Plate Boundary Observatory, the Western Canadian Deformation Array, the US Geological Survey, the Washington State Reference Network, the Oregon Geodetic Reference Network, the NGS CORS network, and several  smaller commercial networks that share raw data such as the Leica real-time network. Map images below link to station locations.  Data images link to positions updated daily, computed by the CWU Geodesy Lab with support from the USGS , NASA, and the National Science Foundation.  All CWU time series can be downloaded here; all PBO data can be downloaded here.  A summary of GPS-based inferences from the anticipated 2006 event can be found here, and a summary of seismic tremor monitoring from the PNSN can be found hereNEW: PANGA RESULTS from the Jan 15-Feb 02 slip event can be found HERE
