OBJECTIVES:  The objectives of this seminar course are to learn the basics of GPS and InSAR, and apply both techniques to measure secular deformation on the Imperial fault (southern extension of the San Andreas fault system). There will be some introductory lectures, and each participant will lead the discussion on a topic of interest. We will have a field trip to the Imperial fault to conduct a campaign GPS survey.
