From page 123...
... Dr. Minster has chaired numerous NRC committees, including the Committee on Geodesy, the Committee on Geophysical and Environmental Data, as well as seven panels established to review distributed active archive centers, and he has served on numerous committees related to solid earth geophysics.

... His principal area of research has been the study of crustal deformation within active seismic areas on the west coast of Canada using geodetic techniques such as leveling, precise gravity, laser-ranging trilateration, and GPS. Under his direction, the Geological Survey of Canada established the Western Canada Deformation Array, the first continuous GPS network in Canada for the express purpose of monitoring crustal motions.

... Her research activities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison focused on geography and applied participa tory mapping; this research engaged resource-dependent, coastal and tribal communities in the development and application of geospatial technology and remote sensing, and in the adoption of appropriate data policies, to support coastal and comprehensive land use planning, natural resource management, and agriculture. In addition, she served on a leadership team under the Wisconsin State Geographic Information Officer to facilitate the establishment of the Wisconsin Geographic Information Coordination Council.
