Fallon FORGE: Geodetic Data

Published by Sandia National Laboratories | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: May 07, 2026 at 08:26 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 20, 2025 at 02:12 PM
Fallon FORGE InSAR and geodetic GPS deformation data. InSAR shapefiles are packaged together as .MPK (ArcMap map package, compatible with other GIS platforms), and as .CSV comma-delimited plaintext. GPS data and additional metadata are linked to the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory database at the Univ. of Nevada, Reno (UNR).
