Abstract
Houston, Texas is one of the places that first employed high-accuracy GPS
technology for land subsidence monitoring beginning in the late 1980s.
Currently, there are over 170 permanent GPS stations located in the Houston
metropolitan area. This article summarizes the current GPS geodetic
infrastructure in the Houston metropolitan area, which is comprised of three
components: a dense GPS network with 170 permanent stations, a stable
Houston reference frame (SHRF14), and sophisticated software packages for
post positioning processing. Average land subsidence and groundwater-level
altitude changes during the past 10 years (2005–2014) also are presented in
this paper.
