New Year's news
It has been some time since the last blog, so I will try to give a short update on what has been happening in the 1-Hz CGPS project.
Although I did not attend the AGU meeting I heard that it went allright, and that a general interest was in the project. My 1-Hz Iceland poster presented at AGU can be downloaded from here. I will be attending the EGU meeting in Vienna with a similar presentation. A few of the 1-Hz Iceland group will be attending that meeting.
Sigurjon went to visit the stations in north Iceland during the Christmass time. He wisited 6 stations and all of them were running and collecting data. However, it turned out that Septentrio's sbf format is considerably more space consuming than the Trimble format, causing the receivers to fill up much quicker than we anticipated. This puts some pressure on getting the stations on-line.
The budget has been an issue within IMO, and it looks like it is quite tight. But we are not overspending - yet!
Both UofA and PSU sent in applications to NSF related to this project. UofA seeks to improve the geodetic research in central Iceland and PSU seeks to do geodetic research in the eastern volcanic zone. Both applications involve semi-permanent GPS sites.
A new site (Kalfholt - KALT) in the south Iceland seismic zone, started collecting data just before noon today, January 18, 2007. Very approximate coordinates are 63.89735 -20.65608. In total there are about 47 CGPS sites collecting data in Iceland today!
