No: The L.A. array is not ready for prime time No: The L.A. array is not ready for prime time
Although much interest will focus upon the temporal behavior of observed deformation, the principal justification for the SCIGN array is that within a 5‐year interval it will provide an accurate and detailed determination of the velocity field in the Los Angeles basin that can be used to identify the active faults and estimate their secular slip rates. Obviously, the accuracy of the...

Geographic relations of landslide distribution and assessment of landslide hazards in the Blanco, Cibuco, and Coamo basins, Puerto Rico Geographic relations of landslide distribution and assessment of landslide hazards in the Blanco, Cibuco, and Coamo basins, Puerto Rico
Landslide occurrence is common in mountainous areas of Puerto Rico where mean annual rainfall and the frequency of intense storms are high and hillslopes are steep. Each year, landslides cause extensive damage to property and occasionally result in loss of life. Landslide maps developed from 1:20,000 scale aerial photographs in combination with a computerized geographic information...

Rationale and preliminary operational plan for a high-altitude magnetic survey over the United States Rationale and preliminary operational plan for a high-altitude magnetic survey over the United States
A proposed high-altitude survey of the U.S. with an ER-2 to collect radar data offers an exciting and cost-effective opportunity to collect magnetic anomaly data. At this workshop, a group of magnetic specialists addressed this opportunity by discussing the need for high-altitude magnetic data and by formulating a preliminary operational plan to acquire such data. The high-altitude...

Some facts about aftershocks to large earthquakes in California Some facts about aftershocks to large earthquakes in California
Earthquakes occur in clusters. After one earthquake happens, we usually see others at nearby (or identical) locations. To talk about this phenomenon, seismologists coined three terms foreshock , mainshock , and aftershock. In any cluster of earthquakes, the one with the largest magnitude is called the mainshock; earthquakes that occur before the mainshock are called foreshocks while...
