Scientific paper

The progress of the NASA Crustal Dynamics Project is summarized. The Project is performed to measure regional deformation and strain accumulation due to large earthquakes in the plate boundary region of western N. America, to measure relative plate motions around the globe, to measure internal deformations of continental and oceanic lithospheric plates, to relate the rotational dynamics of the earth to earthquakes, plate motions and other geophysical phenomena and to measure regional fault motions and strain accumulation globally. VLBI and satellite laser ranging (SLR) have been employed using several base and mobile stations in N. America, Europe, S. America and the S. Pacific. Satellite data are being gathered with the LAGEOS spacecraft. Measurement campaigns in S. America and the Carribbean and Mediterranean regions will be carried out with new instrumentation in 1985.
