  1. HTDP: A tool to correct survey data for tectonic motion Chris Pearson, National Geodetic Survey Richard Snay, National Geodetic Survey Rob McCaffrey, Troy Geophysics

  2. Updated model of the secular field • An analytical model representing horizontal crustal motion developed using DEFNODE • Incorporates all major active faults in a single model. • Provides a more accurate model of crustal deformation in western US • data comprise • 4890 GPS velocities • 170 fault slip rates from paleoseismic & paleomag studies • 258 fault slip vectors taken from earthquakes and geologic studies

  3. Residuals • Fit with all data sets is excellent • Of 6462 original velocities, 1570 were removed for the following reasons: • either near volcanoes or unmodeled faults (244), • high uncertainties (754), • anomalous velocities (343), • not within the model region (228)

  4. Un-modeled deformation • 6 circular regions were excluded from the inversion. These included 4 active volcanic areas • Mammoth Lakes Caldera, Three Sisters Volcanoes, Yellowstone Caldera and Mt St Helens Volcano • Two in southern CA are associated with un-modeled post seismic deformation • We intend to expand the model to cover these areas • By fitting a model to the smoothed residuals

  5. Test of HTDP 3.0 • Testing of HTDP is underway • So far we have used two data sets. • The velocities used to develop HTDP • Velocities for the CORS network Rob’s data NGS CORS data
