The GPS Reflections Group of University of Colorado-Boulder has been awarded the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz International Creativity Prize for Water. The prize acknowledges work that contributes to the sustainable availability of water and the alleviation of the global problem of water scarcity. Professors Kristine Larson and Eric Small developed a new method to measure water at the Earth's surface using geodetic GPS instruments.They developed a cost-effective technique, GPS Interferometric Reflectometry (GPS-IR), to measure soil moisture, snow depth, and vegetation water content around existingGPS antennas.
