This research will build on UTIG’s long-term efforts to acquire geodetic data in the Papua New Guinea-Solomon Islands region, with the intent of providing a new and improved way of leveraging existing knowledge to obtain a comprehensive InSAR surface deformation dataset. The availability of this dataset will allow us to develop a better understanding of the relationship between surface deformation and the processes that control interplate slip at subduction zones.
