The TO has acquired hardware that is key to
the realization of our scientific objectives. This equipment
and any data they produce are communal resources for all TO investigators.
These include: GIS lab, Beowulf
computer, Mass Spectrometer,
50 Broadband Seismometers and
Geodetic networks (explanation).

The Tectonics Observatory is deploying Geodetic Networks continuous
GPS recording to monitor crustal deformation. These networks include
continuously recording GPS sites that are both telemetered on a
daily basis through land and satellite links, and manually downloaded
several times per year.

The Sumatran GPS Array (SuGAr) is
operated in collaboration with the Indonesian Institute of Science
(LIPI) in Bandung, (Indonesia), and Scripps Institute of Oceanography
(SIO/UCSD).
*
The geodetic network in Taiwan is
a collaboration with the Institute of Earth SCiences (Academia
Sinica). Our stations will complement the existing stations operated
by IES and the Central Weather Bureau.
*
The Nepal
Geodetic Network is collaborative project with the Department
of Mines and Geology, Katmandu (Nepal), and the Departement Analyse
et Surveillance de l'Environnement, CEA, (France).
*
The Chile Geodetic Array is a collaboration
project with the University of Chile in Santiago (Chile), the Institut
de Recherche pour le Developpement (France), and Centre National
de la Recherche Scientifique - Institut National des Sciences de
l'Univers (France).
