Continuous Networks: Caltech operates four separate continuous GPS networks, which combined consist of 70 permanent GPS sites. An additional 35 sites are planned to expand these networks in the near future.
* Basin and Range Geodetic Network (BARGEN): BARGEN consists of 53 GPS sites situated across the Basin and Range province of the western United States, including sites in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. The network is designed in part to better understand processes involved in large-magnitude continental extension, and in part to understand strain rates surrounding the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository. The 18 original BARGEN sites were installed in 1996, with network expansions in 1998-1999 and 2001-2002. An 18 site expansion is planned for fall and winter of 2003-2004. Learn more at the BARGEN website.
* Jalisco: Currently, a single permanent GPS site runs within the Jalisco campaign network, described above. Four additional permanent sites will be constructed in the near future.
