| Abstract | Precise observations of seafloor deformation is important for assessing ongoing geologic processes and the hazards they pose, including the largest earthquakes, tsunamis, submarine volcanism, hydrocarbon changes, and submarine landslides. Making observations of the centimeter-scale deformation that occurs over a year or longer using a combination of sea surface and seafloor instrumentation is currently expensive, particularly when using a large research vessel as a part of the measurement design |
