To the Geological Survey of Colombia for supporting the Space Geodesy Research Group which has allowed the implementation and development of the GeoRED project, first between 2007 and 2016, funded by the grant 0043000220000 from the National Planning Department, and second, 2018-2021 funded under the institutional code 1000810 as part of the Research, Monitoring and Evaluation of Geological Hazards in the national territory. TO UNAVCO for its permanent support and for facilitating our participation in the COCONet project as well as the installation of stations in several countries, including in our countries of Colombia and Venezuela; also for the grant that permitted the implementation of the Regional Data Center in Bogotá, Colombia.
