Scientific paper
As part of the National Program for Earthquake Research and Global Dynamics, the Goddard Laser Tracking Network (GLTN) contributes important data for the use in current geological research. The Network consists of a series of laser systems, some mobile, some transportable, and some fixed in observatories, which are located at various sites throughout the world. The lasers track satellites with precisely known orbits to obtain data on changes in the relative positions of the earth's crustal (tectonic) plates. The information obtained aids in the refinement of theories of the evolution of the earth's surface and has more practical applications as well, such as earthquake and volcano prediction and the study of polar motion and earth rotation.
