• Includes acquisition of aerial and satellite imagery and
geochronology.
• Part of the EarthScope Facility project funded by NSF
(MREFC).
• Managed at UNAVCO.
• Assist with EarthScope instrument siting.
• Examine strain field at different temporal/spatial scales than
geodetic & seismic instrumentation.
• Data will be freely available.

Geochronology Labs
Q: I am preparing a proposal to submit to NSF. How do I
request access to GeoEarthScope geochronology
facilities/credits?
A: NSF will award geochronology credits based on
proposals submitted via the merit review proposal
process. Proposals may include specific requests to
access geochronology credits [but such requests will
have no direct influence on NSF award decisions]. On the
other hand, successful proposals may have
geochronology credits issued to them even if the
proposals did not request this. NSF award decisions will
be science-based, not credit-based.
Geochronology Credits
Q: I still have questions regarding geochronology credits and my proposal. Who should I contact for additional information?
A: Investigators preparing NSF proposals should contact Kaye Shedlock, EarthScope Program Director, at NSF ([email protected]). General question may also be directed to David Phillips, GeoEarthScope Manager, at UNAVCO ([email protected]).

InSAR Recommendations
• Flown by NCALM Mar-Apr 2007
• GPS “heavy” data collected by OSU,
UNAVCO, volunteers
• Complementary to B4 project• Benefited from B4 experiences
• Overlaps with B4
• Significant community involvement• Core targets identified by GeoES working
group with input from research community
• Supplemental targets were funded by USGS, SF PUC, City of Berkeley

LiDAR Projects
• Additional GeoES LiDAR projects planned for:
• Southern/eastern California• Intermountain Seismic Belt• Pacific Northwest• Alaska
Future LiDAR Projects
• Elsinore => (138km x 1km)+ (16km x 4km at step overs in middle section) = 202 sq. km
• Garlock => (223km x 1km)+ (16km x 3.5km at Koehn Lake)+ (9.5km x 3km)+ (26km x 3.5km at eastern section of Garlock) = 398.5 sq. km
• Panamint Valley, Hunter Mountain, Saline Valley faults => (125.5km x 1km)+ (50km x 1.5km in Saline Valley) = 200.5 sq. km
• Ash Hill fault => (29km x 1km)+ (7km x 1.5km in southern section) = 39.5 sq. km
• Owens Valley fault => (26km x 3km in northern section) + (69km x 1km) + (26km x 2km in southern section) = 199 sq. km
• San Cayetano fault => 40km x 2km = 80 sq. km• Lenwood fault => 53km x 1km = 53 sq. km• Calico fault => 21km x 1km = 21 sq. km
Total area: 1193.5 sq. km

Q: Are there guidelines that should be followed if I would like to specifically request access to geochronology credits in my proposal?
A: No. NSF award decisions will be science-based, not credit-based.
Q: Would it be detrimental to my proposal if I requested support for geochronology analyses not available from GeoEarthScope facilities?
A: No. NSF award decisions will be science-based, not credit-based.
Geochronology Labs
Q: Can GeoEarthScope credits be used to support geochronology field work and sample collection?
A: No. Credits can only be used for “analysis”.
Q: Geochronology credits are not mentioned in NSF Solicitation 06-562. Will the GeoEarthScope geochronology credits still be available for proposals submitted for the July 16, 2007 deadline?
A: Yes.

Budget
The overview panel’s report, submitted to UNAVCO in summer 2007, recommended the following funding distribution:
• LiDAR, $1.9M• InSAR, $1.1M• Geochronology, $0.8M
UNAVCO is currently implementing GeoEarthScope activities based on these recommendations
