Abstract
During February 2022, a team from GNS Science re-measured a network of 45 geodetic survey markers using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) methods throughout the Taupō Volcanic Zone of New Zealand for monitoring the regional deformation due to tectonic processes. Previous comprehensive GNSS surveys of this region have been carried out in 2021 (TVZ 2021 [Hart and Palmer 2022]), 2015, (TVZ 2015 [unpublished]), 2011 (2011TARA-TVZ [unpublished]), 2007 (TVZ 2007 [unpublished]), 2005 (TVZ 2005 [Palmer NP 2005]), 1995, (TVZ 1995 [Blick GH et al. 1995]), 1994, (TVZ 1994 [Darby DJ et al. 1994]), 1993, (TVZ 1993 [Blick GH 1993]), 1992, (TVZ 1992 [Blick GH et al. 1992]) and 1991, (TVZ 1991 [Blick GH]) primarily for the Taupō Volcanic Zone. This report documents the field operations of the TVZ2022 resurvey. It describes the logistics of the campaign, the sites occupied, and the data collected. (The authors)
