GSAC — Geodesy Seamless Archive Centers


The Geodesy Seamless Archive Centers (GSAC) project was a collaborative effort to simplify access to geodesy data holdings by harmonizing search capabilities across multiple geodesy data centers. With funding through the NASA ROSES ACCESS program in 2010-2012, UNAVCO, SOPAC, and CDDIS collaborated to create GSAC software. The Nevada Geodetic Laboratory was a science user of the GSAC and produced Quality Assessment parameters for GNSS data. The result of this collaboration is three GSAC Repositories, consisting of a web services based application programming interface (API) and web site, running at each of the three data centers, and a federated GSAC Repository hosted at UNAVCO. The GSAC software is the foundation for GSAC repositories and is freely available for utilization by any geodesy data center. The original collaborators continue to run their GSAC-enabled repositories. The Nevada Geodetic Laboratory produces QA parameters for thousands of GNSS stations.

Past Work

GSAC was used at European Plate Observing System (EPOS) geodetic data centers; UNAVCO received NSF funding to support this effort under the COOPEUS project.

UNAVCO continued development of the GSAC software for the Dataworks for GNSS project.
