Several GPS networks with various monument spacings are being used to monitor deformation in parts or all of the Mississippi embayment. One network is regional, and two of the network stations are located in western Kentucky within our map area. Purpose: The data was generated to help in understanding the seismotectonic hazards in the vicinity of the lower Wabash Valley. This data complements similar data collected in the vicinity of New Madrid, MO (US Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-0574, available via ftp at ) Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 1990 Ending_Date: 1993 Status: Progress: complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: none planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -88.00084686 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -88.00083923 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 23.00033951 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 23.0003376 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: global positioning systems Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Wabash Valley Access_Constraints: none Use_Constraints: none Point_of_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Susan Rhea Contact_Organization: US Geological Survey Contact_Position: Geophysicist Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing address Address: MS966, Box 25046, Federal Center City: Denver State_or_Province: CO Postal_Code: 80225 Country: USA Contact_Voice_Telephone: 303-273-8639 Contact_Facsimile_Telephone: 303-273-8600 Contact_Electronic_Mail_Address: rhea@usgs.gov Contact_Instructions: email is the best way to make contact Native_Data_Set_Environment: SunOS, 5.5.1, sun4u UNIX, ARC/INFO version 7.1.1 Cross_Reference: Citation_Information: Originator: Wheeler, R.L., Diehl, S.F., Rhea, Susan, Sargent, M.L., Bear, G.W.
