Featured Crustal Motion Observation Method: GNSS

A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) allows user to precisely locate positions around the world. One such GNSS is the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS), which is made up of 24 satellites. A GNSS is designed so that multiple satellites are within range of any point on Earth in order to determine its location.

GNSS data can used to study crustal motion, geophysics, plate tectonics, and atmospheric properties in addition to many other topics.
