Factors That Affect The Global Positioning System And Global Navigation Satellite System In An Urban And Forested Environment., Douglas Allen Ritchie
Factors That Affect The Global Positioning System And Global Navigation Satellite System In An Urban And Forested Environment., Douglas Allen Ritchie
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy in real time measurements acquired from GPS and GLONASS satellite observations using RTK techniques in an urban and forested environment. To determine this accuracy, 2 data sets of 3-dimensional coordinates were created and compared at 14 stations situated at East Tennessee State University. One data set included coordinates determined by conventional land survey methods; the second was solved by RTK GPS/GLONASS. Once the magnitude of any deviation in the coordinate positions was determined, the contributions to the accuracies from cycle slips, multipath, satellite availability, PDOP, and fixed or float solutions …

A Methodology For The Forensic Acquisition Of The Tomtom One Satellite Navigation System - A Research In Progress, Peter Hannay
A Methodology For The Forensic Acquisition Of The Tomtom One Satellite Navigation System - A Research In Progress, Peter Hannay
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
The use of Satellite Navigation Systems (SNS) has become increasingly common in recent years. The wide scale adoption of this technology has the potential to provide a valuable resource in forensic investigations. The potential of this resource is based on the ability to retrieve historical location data from the device in question while maintaining forensic integrity. This paper presents a methodology to acquire forensc images of the TomTom One satellite navigation unit. This methodology aims to be comprehensive and straightforward, while maintaining forensic integrity of the original evidence. However, in consideration of the aforementioned methodology, ti should be noted that …
Seismic Constraints On Slow Slip Events Within The Cascadia Subduction Zone, Ana Cristina Aguiar
Seismic Constraints On Slow Slip Events Within The Cascadia Subduction Zone, Ana Cristina Aguiar
All Master's Theses
Reanalysis of geodetic GPS time series from the Cascadia subduction zone have revealed at least 30 resolvable slow slip events along the megathrust, ranging from northern California to southern British Columbia, since 1997. Many of the smaller and more recent events are barely resolvable with GPS, but stand out clearly as tremor sequences. Since tremor bursts lasting less than 10-seconds are often visible across multiple stations, they offer the highest resolution for studying moment release through time. To test the hypothesis that tremor and transient deformation are two manifestations of the same faulting process, and to quantify the relative contribution …

Campaign GPS data from a network in the Nicaraguan forearc show a strong component of arc-parallel motion indicating northwest translation of a nearly rigid forearc sliver. Our measured mean velocity for forearc sites of 15.1 mm yr−1 agrees well with the arc-parallel sliver motion predicted previously by DeMets (2001) derived from closure constraints on oblique convergence between the Cocos and Caribbean plates. The lack of a northeasterly oriented arc-normal component of motion in forearc velocities indicates that there are complexities involved beyond a simple interpretation of sliver motion being driven by oblique convergence. The forearc is reasonably well-fit by …
