Lidar elevations

[DeathValleyDazed]

 There's a new Geoid model coming out later this year so it will be important to re-calculate elevations across the country once that model is complete.

Candace and GG42, sure appreciate your expertise here. What follows may or may not have relevance to his this thread?

Summer 2016 I came across this University Nevada Reno seismograph station number SGR located near Brier Spring and Phinney Canyon. It was placed there May 1998 securely anchored to bare rock (ground). 
 
I called the phone number and spoke with someone at UNR who informed that it not only helps measure for earth quakes but also for tectonic plate movements over the long haul of time. So I'm wondering if these stations of which there are at least ten located around DEVA help calibrate slow elevation changes and slow earth crust movements? 

Here are some more links about these stations and their locations in case it's helpful. If this is not useful for the thread topic, just ignore please.

The DEVA listed stations are spread throughout this spread sheet: (Major undertaking setting these up!)
