Geodetic Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Geodetic Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience (GAGE) is a geophysical facility for geoscience research and education. It focuses on research of our planet's surface deformation with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution.[1] GAGE is one of the two premier geophysical facilities in support of geoscience and geoscience education of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The other premiere geophysical facility is SAGE, the Seismological Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience.
It operates and maintains the Network of the Americas (NOTA) and provides support to Antarctica research with it support of Antarctic Network (ANET).[2] It is operated by the EarthScope Consortium. Its previous operator was UNAVCO, until its merger with the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) to become the EarthScope Consortium.[3][4]
