Bin Mustafar, M.A. (author), Simons, W.J.F. (author), Tongkul, Felix (author), Satirapod, Chalermchon (author), Omar, Kamaludin Mohd (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author)The existence of intra-plate deformation of the Sundaland platelet along its eastern edge in North Borneo, South-East Asia, makes it an interesting area that still is relatively understudied. In addition, the motion of the coastal area of North-West Borneo is directed toward a frontal fold-and-thrust belt and has been fueling a long debate on...journal article 2017

Guo, X. (author), Ditmar, P.G. (author), Zhao, Q (author), Klees, R. (author), Farahani, H. (author)GPS data collected by satellite gravity missions can be used for extracting the long-wavelength part of the Earth’s gravity field. We propose a new data processing method which makes use of the ‘average acceleration’ approach to gravity field modelling. In this method, satellite accelerations are directly derived from GPS carrier phase...journal article 2017

(author)Deformation estimates from Interferometric Synthetic<br/>Aperture Radar (InSAR) are relative: they form a ‘free’<br/>network referred to an arbitrary datum, e.g. by assuming a reference<br/>point in the image to be stable. However, some applications<br/>require ‘absolute’ InSAR estimates, i.e. expressed in<br/>a well-defined terrestrial...journal article 2017

Hou, Y. (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Wu, J (author)Ambiguity Resolution (AR) plays a vital role in precise GNSS positioning. Correctly-fixed integer ambiguities can significantly improve the positioning solution, while incorrectly-fixed integer ambiguities can bring large positioning errors and, therefore, should be avoided. The ratio test is an extensively used test to validate the fixed...journal article 2016

Zaminpardaz, Safoora (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Nadarajah, Nandakumaran (author)A first assessment of GLONASS CDMA L3 ambiguity resolution and positioning performance is provided. Our analyses are based on GLONASS L3 data from the satellite pair SVNs 755-801, received by two JAVAD receivers at Curtin University, Perth, Australia. In our analyses, four different versions of the two-satellite model are applied: the...journal article 2016

De Bakker, P.F. (author)Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) processing method with the objective of providing high positioning accuracy without the need for a nearby base station or dense network of reference stations operated by the user. To reach this objective, PPP uses the very precise carrier phase measurements in...doctoral thesis 2016

Bekaert, D.P.S. (author), Hooper, A. (author), Wright, T.J. (author)In Guerrero, Mexico, slow-slip events have been observed in a seismic gap, where no earthquakes have occurred since 1911. A rupture of the entire gap today could result in a Mw 8.2–8.4 earthquake. However, it remains unclear how slow-slip events change the stress field in the Guerrero seismic region and what their implications are for...journal article 2015

Broerse, D.B.T. (author)During earthquakes large scale mass displacements take place when slip on a fault deforms the earth’s crust. Besides, in the days to decades after the main shock ongoing deformation is usually observed that is related to relaxation of stresses caused by the earthquake.

Jie, L. (author), Van Zuylen, H.J. (author), Chunhua, L. (author), Shoufeng, L. (author)The travel time is an important measure for the quality of traffic. This paper discusses a few methods to measure or estimate the travel time in urban road networks. First of all, it is important to know that urban travel times display a large variation, so that the measurement of a single (average) travel time is not so meaningful. The travel...journal article 2011
