Abstract

Recent earthquake activity in the Jackson Hole area, particularly the 2010 Gros Ventre sequence, has focused on possible regional ground deformation that may be related to the earthquakes (Farrell et al., 2010). The University of Utah has an established network of field GPS benchmarks that was last surveyed in 2003 and has now been resurveyed in 2010 (Figure 1). The campaign GPS measurements supplement the permanent regional GPS network and provide detailed information on temporal and spatial deformation in and around Grand Teton National Park.
