The PIs will use the Global Positioning System (GPS) to                    monitor crustal motion across a plate boundary complex between                  the Indo-Australian and Pacific plates.  This complex, which                    includes the Hebrides arc, the Fiji Plateau, the Lau Basin and                  the Tonga arc, is characterized by very high rates of plate                     convergence and back-arc spreading.  By using GPS to establish                  inter-island baselines that straddle many of the major tectonic                 elements in the region, it will be possible, by repeated                        observation of these baselines, to directly observe the                         kinematics of plate convergence, intra-arc strain and back-arc                  spreading.  The consortium that will perform the experiment                     included North Carolina State University, Cornell University,                   the National Geodetic Survey, ORSTOM (new Caledonia) and the                    University of New South Wales (Australia).
