One (1) Project Technical Assistant IV

 

Project title: Measurement of Velocities of Earthquake Faults (M.O.V.E. Faults)

 

Project description:
The M.O.V.E. (Measurement of Velocities of Earthquake Faults) Project is a government-supported research program aimed at quantifying the kinematics and mechanical behavior of active faults in the Philippines through GNSS-based geodetic techniques. With a network of over 300 GPS campaign sites and CORS stations across the country, the project provides critical data on crustal deformation, particularly along the Philippine Fault and other tectonically active zones.

 

Implementing Agency: Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)

 

Employment status: Contract of Services under PHIVOLCS locally-funded project
